Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software is an important link in the manufacturing process. It forms the connection between computer-aided drafting (CAD) designs and CNC manufacturing by incorporating the machining codes within the CAD file.
The CAM Turning module introduces students to the fundamentals of CAM programs and their use in industry. The module is based on software, which converts CAD drawings into numerical control (NC) files that can be used to produce parts on a CNC turning center. The software features an integrated CAD drawing package that allows a seamless and easy working environment and includes a graphic tool path simulation package for immediate part proofing.
The activities focus on turning-related cutting operations such as roughing, facing, grooving, threading, cut-off procedures and code generation.
