CNC Systems 2008-02-18 23:53:00 A Computer: The computer is used to draw the design. However, the design is only a picture and the CNC machine cannot use this to manufacture the product. The computer software must also convert the drawing into numbers (coordinates) that the CNC machine can use when it starts to cut and shape the material. The computer is used to input the design. Technical software such as CAD software is used t Read more:Systems

An Introduction to CAM Software 2008-02-18 23:48:00 CNC milling machines have of course been developed based on conventional milling machines, where the tool is moved through the material by operating a hand wheel for each of the available axes (X, Y, Z, ...). The basis of adding NC (Numerical Control) is very simple: replace the hand wheel by a positioning motor and add some electronics (the NC controller) to control the position. Nowadays many co Read more:Software
