Hi there. Im new to the world of CNC.

It would be great if someone could help me.

Im looking at purchasing a CNC machine in order to manufacture wooden sunglasses with from laminated plywood (max 5mm thickness).

I am proficient with Adobe Illustrator and Google Sketchup, but don't have any experience with CAD software.

The pieces of wood needs to be bent into a curve before going onto the CNC router for cutting the frame. See attached picture as example of what it will look like when placed on t-slot table.

What I want to know is: Do I need to draw the sunglasses frame in CAD with the exact same curve (in 3D) as the small wood plank for it to be able to cut it correctly?

Hope someone could help me with this.

Thanks
