Hello,
To start out with, I want to say that I have just joined this forum and I am trying to learn about CNC machining. Some background. I have background in Solidworks 3D modeling and drawings. I currently work for a company that has a Milltronics VM5020 milling machine that they bought last year. The previous CNC machinist has just left the company and now without a CNC machinist. Since I know how to draw in CAD, I am trying to take it upon myself to learn how to generate code from a 3D model using Solidworks 2021. I have been told that I need a post processors for the Milltronics VM 5020 (which I have not been able to find). Can someone guide me on how to setup Solidcam and post processor?
