I have just started a new job today where my dutiesinvolvecreating sheet metal parts in Solidworks and using LantekFLEX3D SW& Lantek Expert to do the nesting and toolpaths.
The previous chap who worked there decided to leave a fewweeksearly so I've been thrown in at the deep end somewhat, theboss understands but really needs me to get some parts setupthrough Lantek so that they can be sent down to the plasmacutterfor cutting.
If one (or more) of you guys could give me a briefexplanation,checklist, recipe...or whatever of how to make a sheetmetal partin Solidworks and prepare and import it into Lantek, nestandcreate toolpaths using Lantek I would be veryverygrateful.
So you know, I have a strong understanding of Solidworks, butnonewhatsoever of Lantek or any sheet metal CNC packages forthatmatter. And remember, you can never dumb it downtoomuch!!
Thanks
