I must say that i agree with you. Tho i believe that tool paths and the main principle behind cutting this part stays the same. If i'am mistaken i will put my effort to model solid part from this scan and then return.

No worries. I work for the university and this is not a production as you say. I must have uploaded the wrong file. I'll fix it when i get to work computer.

I'm from Estonia. Little country surrounded by Finland, Sweden, Latvia and Russia. Can I share the scan? Absolutely! I'll share it from my Gdrive: emcx-9: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6howuQ4qhc6TlJrLUFGNndzb3c/view?usp=sharing Stl: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6howuQ4qhc6Tk9Oa3h0dndpUWM/view?usp=sharing (There are some holes in the mesh. I'll fix it) GenericTool

Hey I have been using MasterCam for couple of years tho I must admit it, on very basic level(mainly drawing 2D contours). But for now I have to mill couple of old hinges for my first surface machining. My main question would be where to start? Due to asymmetry i have to tilt and turn this part in Cam, to align faces, which is something I'm not familiar. At the moment i only have the stl scan. I hope i can reverse engineer it into solid part soon. I'm using Haas Super Mini Mill with 4'th axis. Pictures: http://imgur.com/a/LVCKo Best regards! GenericTool
