CNC Basics E-Course 4 | CAM | Learn CAM Video | CAD/CAM …
Here on the 4th day we talk about CAM. CAM stands for Computer Aided Manufacturing. During the CAM step of the CNC Process we use software to define how our CNC Machine should move.
There are a number of CAM Software packages on the market. They range from the inexpensive to expensive. Much of the cost depends on the number of Axis’s that the CAM Software has.
With the CAM Software we define things like stock, location, tooling, feed and speeds and the post processor we will use.
The post processor is very specific to our CNC Machine. It outputs g-code. We use the G-Code program in our control software next.
Tomorrow’s Lesson is CNC Control.

CNC to Art Video 7 – Finalize and Export – CNC Artwork …
CNC to Art Video Series Video 7:
This is the CNC Video series on how to take an image to a CNC File. This process is one that many CNC Users want to know, but there is not much info on. Here is your chance to get the inside scoop.
For more information, please go to: http://www.cncinformation.com
We have converted our image and now it is time to clean it up and export it out. First we take a look at the image for defects. We find a few and use the Illustrator weld tool to get rid of them.
Next we export the image out as a dxf file. DXF Files are common currency between CAD Programs.
When we export, we go with the oldest type of DXF File available. I do it that way because I find it makes a simpler file that virtually any CAD Program can open and use.
Next we go into our CAD Program to resize our file to the proper dimensions.

CNC Basics E-Course 3 | CAD | Learn CAD Video | CAD/CAM Tips
In this CNC Basics Video we go over CAD. CAD Stands for Computer Aided Design. During the CAD step we take our initial design and translate it into the computer. We do this CNC Step so we can change the design, resize it, save it, transfer it to someone else, etc. Recording our CNC Design into CAD gives us flexibility.
During CAD we learn we first design parts, then assemblies, then groups, then machines. We also learn there are different types of CAD Software. 2D, 2.5D and 3D. These types also come in different software packages from inexpensive to expensive. You can spend up to the sky if you want.
The trick is to match the CAD Software Capabilites with your CNC Needs. You don’t need high power 3D Modeling CAD if you make simple parts day in and day out.
Tomorrow’s lesson is CAM. Computer Aided Manufacturing.

2008 Max Hayes Career Opportunities Showcase Ground Tour
Saturday may 10th, 2008 was a very bright and beautiful day down at Max Hayes, the ONLY Advanced Manufacturing and Technical Trades School in the city of Cleveland.
Parents and students got a first hand look at the school for a chance to get enrolled in one of the finest Technical Schools around.
From Building and Construction trades to Welding, CNC machining, CAD, Auto Body and Auto Tech. Northeast Ohio has an acute need for a skilled workforce and Max Hayes delivers many qualified and skilled workers year after year.
Upon graduation, these well prepared young adults are ready to enter the workforce making far better money than one without the knowledge of a skilled trade.
Over 180 customs, classics, hotrods and specialty vehicles lined the parking lot as well as bikes built by kids from all over the area.
Principal David Volosin and T.E.A.M. Academy’s Executive Director David Makita worked hard all year to make this happen. A special thanks goes out to all the Car Clubs, teachers and volunteers for helping to make this years open house very successful.
Congratulations!!

CNC Basics E-Course 6 | CNC Machining | Learn CNC …
On Day 6 we learn about CNC Machining. This is where the rubber hits the road. Before this, we did virtually everything on the computer. Now we move into the real world. Machining is about removing material from a piece of stock until we finalize our parts.
One thing we learn is that manual machining and cnc machining have similar issues. There is coolant, chips dust and dirt no matter if you are operating the machine or the computer is operating the machine.
CNC Machining safety is important during this step. We need to wear safety glasses, protective equipment and appropriate shoes.
There are many different types of CNC Machines and types of machining. There are cnc routers, CNC Lathes, cnc mills, cnc plasma cutters and on an on. Each of these types of machines operates in different ways and you must learn their differences to be effective.
Tomorrow we go over various CNC Produced Parts and Projects. We look at the outcome of all out work and some of the possibilities.

Haas VF 20 CNC machining a puzzle piece
If you are like me videos of CNC machines make you drool. This video shows the G-code the machine is using as it runs the part. The finished part is a puzzle piece with an inscription I made for my wife.
The inscription in case you miss it says: Camille, You are the “Key Piece” in our family. Programed in Surfcam by Joshua Chapman (less than a week after he first used Surfcam). Hey, no one else is going to brag for me, right?
