4: Using your Microrouter - Overview
Several steps must be completed before the final manufacture of a
part. The flowchart below lists the general steps that should be
followed for CNC file creation, simulation and final part manufacture, in
the recommended order. However, miscellaneous factors may warrant
the user to complete the steps in a different order to that shown.
For more detailed
information regarding
these steps please refer
to your separate CNC
Machine Control
Software User's
Manual.

Steps F and G are not
required when working
with a simulated CNC
machine (for example,
Virtual Reality).
