Default MAYA Question?

Ok I've got kind of a weird out there question. I'm wanting to know if there's any way to get a 3D program like Maya, to spit out the models dimensions in a G-code formula for a CNC milling machine?

Yep, can be done.

There can be a lot of issues, so its best to get someone involved that has
a lot of experience and can hand-hold the 3d artist through the process.

Do you have a link like the max link, or is it really complicated?


The reason I ask is a machinist that I'm working with, was asking me (it would just make it alot easier) if it could be done. If I have to pay money or if you know of a tutorial or whatever please let me know.


Thanks, I appreciated the help guys.
