I need help tool pathing for a rush job
I just got an email asking me to cut a bunch of parts for a company with a KOMO machine that is out of commission with a burned out spindle. They are a little more s'pisticated than me and my Alpha and I'd like to be able to do the job. They have supplied me with DXF files that are 3D and I do not have enough experience to turn them into cutting files. Some of the parts are two sided. I have an alpha with a ATC (almost debugged, grrr)
They want the parts tuesday, I think I can do it if they agree to my price and deliver their materials monday am, IF someone can help me generate the toolpaths...
I hope that this is super easy for someone! I don't think I have time to learn it on this job.
Thank you,

thanks for the help, didn't get the job
Well, with suggestions from this board, and thinking about it all weekend, I figured out how to to do the job, gave the client my price and found out that someone else was offering to do it for 1/3, including supplying materials. i'm pretty sure I wasn't that high! Someone is working awfully cheap...
C'est la vie, the client has their own (Broken, KOMO) cnc, so it's not like I'm going to miss out on a lot of repeat business.
The guy who is apparently going to get the job also apparently only bid 1/2 the work and won't give them a delivery guarantee.
Go figure, the rush job might not actually be one...
have fun,
Nathan
