Hi guys, Sorry if the question sounds silly but I am new to CNC programming.
I just took heidenhain programming courses and Now I am able to create/code various designs using its own controller however If I want to make a complex 3d shape then I have to use a CAD/CAM package which converts the image/file into g code automatically. So I am confused that why I took heidenhain control programming lesson instead I should have taken CAD/CAM training which does the job easily and automatically. Furthermore, to write a code on heidenhain controller manually takes like ages. Or Is there any other benefit I am not aware of heidenhain control programming?
And If I want to learn CAD/CAM, Which package do you guys suggest I should learn. I already know some CAD (UGS NX and Solidworks only).
I am really confused about this any help would be appreciated.
