Using Edgecam for creating CNC programs in education process

Abstract

CAM systems are most widespread way to create cnc programs. Possibility of optimization, simulation of machining, shorter lead time, and flexibility are biggest benefits. Some of most used CAM systems are GibbsCam, PowerMill, AlphaCam, Surfcam, and Edgecam. Next article shows making of NC program in Edgecam. Edgecam was chosen because is user friendly and simple programs can be created without deeper knowledge of system. Therefore is very suitable for learning process.
