Hello!
I've got a recurring issue around here; no CAD models!
Our QM handles communications between us and our customers; I'm just a lowly programmer, and am not allowed to get into contact with Engineering to get CAD models to inspect
their parts. Apparently the boss doesn't want to; literally told me "yeah, that's not gonna happen. Can't you program without a CAD model?"
Working Offline on a laptop, because the desktop is currently in the hands of IT, dead.
Dafuq?
The funny thing is if we dont get a CAD we make a CAD. I bet 1 have made about 1 program in 12 years "online". Who programs a CNC without one? I'm sure its done but holy b@ll$ ! I'm sure the drawing you are looking at was generated from a CAD or was it done on a real drafting board ?
+1, yes, you could just create the CAD surfaces you plan on inspecting. Just enough to get you going. no need to put in things like chamfers and fillets if your not going to check them.
