Extract CNC data for bending of structural tube

[Anonymous]

Is there a method of extracting XYZ data to use for CNC tube bending from components developed in frame generator ? I know that in routed systems you can export that data, but can the same thing be done with frame generator or any individual bent tube or pipe part?

What program are you using to run the CNC?  MasterCam?

I ask, because where I used to work we would export out as a dxf file and MasterCam was able to import that

to do what you are asking for.

I am not sure as this is being out sourced from out manufacturing plant. Our head  engineer asked if there was a way to extract the data. 

[Cadmanto]

Ask him if you were to do a quick drawing and exported that out as a dxf file if there software can import a dxf file.

If so, then problem solved.
