Hi guys, and thanks again for pitching in!
My current situation is I am financing a 4+1 axis ( 5X ) mill, and when I start throwing the number in, 150K for the mill, 14K for the trucking... and then 18 to 25K for software...
It is hitting my ceiling.
I am running Bobcad over here for all the machines I have, but it won't do the fancy stuff.
So... rather than go that $18 to $25K, possibly I could farm the programming out?
Would you believe that would even be a workable solution?
I don't know, I have never tried anything like that and of course...
my biggest concern is that it would be off-site. And somebody else.. somewhere's else
would be generating who-knows-what. And of course... there are always revisions... time..
If any of you guys have done this, I'd sure like to explore it.
I am guessing there are services I can trust for this.
Thanks again,
Mark
