[Wichita-SCCA] Birth of a W16 (Veyron)

[Brian Meyer]

Probably 4-6 hours to write that program.  Although the movement looks
complicated (especially in full five-axis simultaneous mode) the
software used for CNC programming makes it pretty easy.  Designing and
modeling the engine block in CAD is much harder, but once you have that
you just tell it what areas you want cut and what to stay away from and
the software figures out the movements.  The hard part is keeping things
from crashing during the reposition moves and writing a post-processor
that accurately translates the code from the software to the CNC machine
code.

I wonder how long it took to program the CNC machine.
