Computer Aided Manufacturing

Process of Computer Aided Manufacturing

CAM is a process just like the rest of the steps in CNC. You need to do certain things before it spits out the tool paths and then the G-Code. These things you need to define change with the type of CAM you are using and the CAM program you are using. They are all similar, but a bit different.

Here are the CAM Steps:

Define Material

Define Stock Size

Define Coordinates

Define Tool

Define Feeds and Speeds

Simulate Machining
