What factory in Frankfurt can work with 3D CNC?

Hello forum! 
I have been working for following speaker baffle with hobby machine. I have completed one of the pair. But the hobby CNC machine has caused too many troubles and I understand that my work is way too much for the machine. Now I look for a factory which can cut the other piece of my speaker baffle. 
I have 3D data created with Fusion 360. I have done many test cutting and adjusted the data. I have walnut wood. Please let me know good factory which can work with 3D CNC ! (I live in suburb of Frankfurt. So around Frankfurt is better but not limited to the area if the factory is helpful.)
Note: There are curved surfaces

Hi,

this is not a task for a factory but for a joinery with CNC.
Either you will find the corresponding companies in the frankfurt business directory or you can post the question at "wood-cnc ".

Hello Günther! 
Thank you very much for the reply! 
I looked for places which have CNC, but they mostly work only with 2D and they hesitate to handle 3D. As well, they don't use Fusion 360. I can convert the data to DXF and DWG, but I am not sure how it is accurately converted. So I think I had better to look for places which accept Fusion 360 and handle 3D data. 
I will post the question to the forum you told me too, Thank you!

Hi,

Anyone who runs a cnc is reluctant to use foreign data that has not been tested on their system.

Furthermore, there are only a few postprocessors available for Fusion for the market-leading machines (Weeke, Holzher, SCM, Biesse ...). I only know one for the woodwop system and it doesn't work on all versions.

Note: I wouldn't load data on my machine whose structure I can't judge.

3D data is usually exchanged in the form of STEP files, not dxf or dwg.

A company that is accustomed to work with 3D machining will likely also be able read a number of 3D data formats.

.stp (Step) .igs (IGES) .x_t (Parasolids) .sat (Acis) are the most commonly used formats.

 

They will also likely use their own CNC programming to create tool paths.

Thank you very much, Günther

It means that I had better not expect that those who can handle Fusion360 would be minority.... 

Noted. 🙂

Hello Peter, 

Thank you for the reply. I also heard that .stp and .igs should be handled by those who handle 3D CNC. Fusion360 data can be converted at Autodesk website. I will submit the data to the carpenters. By the way, do you know such carpenters who work with 3D-CNC machine?

Hi,

there are basically 2 ways:
1. give the 3 d data to the joinery > they create the toolpaths for the specific machine with a CAM module.

Finaly the part will be manufactured.
2. You want to create the toolpaths yourself.
Then you have to have a list with tool numbers and data from providers and Fusion has to provide a postprocessor for this system.
I think that only the first way makes sense, because the second way has the problems mentioned above.
Nevertheless
much success
