CNC is a control system used to control devices running on electronic digital computers.
It regulates, optimizes, and records a machine moving objects. It can be a router, grinder,
laser cutter, welder, milling machine, etc.
The NX CAM programming software from Siemens PLM is used to create and edit models.
These models are used to generate NC operations that produce the real workpiece on the
machine tool. As with machine tools, NX CAM offers a variety of machining strategies, such as
roughing, semi-finishing and finishing.
Mastercam is a software that provides both CAM functionality to drive CNC machines efficiently
for optimized productivity.
CAM software offers advantages that are not attainable with manual programming.
These include quick generation of G-code for CNC machines, the ability to program
extremely complex parts, plus digital review and evaluation of a project before physical
machining starts.
