    by all means, passing on a 3D model in the right format is a step in the right direction, but you are still up for a lot of programming time.

    Some of the guys wear the programming time as they look at it as an investment into the part that they willl recoup by selling a whole heap.

    It all depends on how unique the part is and who ends up owning the IP....

    At some point I will have a CNC...I just love tools...
    That last statement is dripping with homosexual innuendo ... but I'm going to ignore it ... because I like good tools too
