Building some molds relatively simple but above our conversational control capabilities. Who on here would be able to recommend someone or perform a programming service?

I don't think I would go down either side of that road!
If I am insured against damages to your machine, how do I know your setup guy or operator screwed with something, machine/tool/control/comp etc etc?
If I am not insured, and say part of the deal is I prove out the first part, back in the same boat, unless you are willing so "sign off" and say code is good, transaction complete.(?)
Sounds like a lose lose to me.

I can recommend these guys without hesitation:
5th Axis CG Inc – Here for your Advanced Manufacturing Solutions
They can reliably and efficiently program anything with a control on it.

Machine is a Milltronics with a CENT 7 control.

Once the code leaves the programmer to the final destination, everyone is on their own. Quite frankly, I'd be real uneasy about this.
+1 for these guys.

Yeah, but doesn't fusion like all those complex trochoidal moves that older controllers just don't have the memory for? I also noticed fusion can be very redundant with their Z axis moves up and down in some cases for no reason even after you link moves and ask it to keep Z down.
Fusion has the high-speed machining tool paths but it also has "regular" roughing operations. Pocket Clearing they call it.
Yes, I've experienced the "whisper cuts" and apparently redundant z-moves.
Just saying, if somebody wants to see if using CAM may address their issue in a workable way, the $ outlay to try it with Fusion is low.
No doubt there's plenty of CAM system choices.

Heard they've got Jon Banquer working on it. Should be done any day now ...

Thought it appropriate to give it a final summary. I would recommend using 5th axis for programing services. The experience was good. We had some bumps in the beginning,mostly on my end. They kept working with me professionally and with courtesy, ultimately developing a good program for our machine. Would not hesitate using them again.
