Hi, I am a Mechanical Design Engineer with experience in CAM programming, CNC machining, and manufacturing workflows. I can create optimized G-code from scratch for your high Z-travel 3-axis CNC project, ensuring accurate double-sided machining with reliable flipping and workpiece realignment. I have experience preparing toolpaths for MDF/HDF machining, selecting appropriate cutting strategies, and minimizing dimensional errors between operations. My focus is on producing clean, efficient, and repeatable machining programs that achieve high precision and surface quality. I can also provide setup guidance, workholding recommendations, and alignment strategies to ensure consistent results during two-sided machining. I look forward to discussing your project and reviewing the part geometry. Best regards,

The real work here is getting the G-code to align perfectly after the material flips, so it's about defining the machine movements precisely for that re-fixturing. I would build the toolpaths in Fusion 360 using its CAM module. For the HDF blocks, I'd set up a single stock model, machine the first side features, then define a flat face for the material to locate against for the flip, and re-establish datums for the second side operations. I will not be offering a full machine simulation up front. That can add time and cost, and often clients just want the code to get cutting, also I've found it can mask minor setup errors that become obvious during the first run anyway. How will the flip and re-clamping be registered to the machine's coordinate system? I am a Preferred Freelancer on Freelancer with a 5.0 rating, 100% on time and 100% on budget. I need your CAD model for the part.

This project requires precise G-code for double-sided machining on a 3-axis CNC, similar to the precision tasks handled in CNC programming and software development for advanced machining. I will develop the G-code from scratch, leveraging expert-level CAM programming skills to ensure exact flipping and realignment needed for high Z-travel operations, referencing the accuracy practices used in complex engineering and CNC programming. The approach ensures minimal margin of error, essential for HDF material. Initial milestone can be set within the first week post-requirements alignment for prototype code generation and testing. Could you clarify the exact dimensions and tolerance levels expected for the double-sided cuts?
