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.

Homemade Mini CNC 4 axis milling machine – Neo7cnc.com
This is a small CNC machine that I made. Unit is about 26 pounds. Cutting area is 4.5x by 5y by 3z. It uses THK actuators. I use dampers on all the steppers to help with vibration. Home switches are currently installed on the x and y.

Mini CNC milling machine Test 1
CNC MIlling Machine, first time cutting aluminium. This is the first test of the machine cutting a metal. It seems to cut it with no problem. The tool used is a 3/8″ HSS end mill, depth of cut: 1.8mm. All the interpolation algorithms are programmed in PIC microcontroller, the computer sends coordinates for the G code.

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.

homemade CNC milling machine
this is the first run of the CNC machine i built. total cost: $400.
for the first application, I used styrofoam, however i believe that the machine is capable of milling wood, plastics, and possibly aluminum
thanks to everyone who encouraged and helped me on the way!

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.

mini
Xendoll mini CNC machine is up to date CNC machine that can be operated by hand or computer. This CNC machine can be used to train people operate the CNC machine. The CNC system is made up of the machine and the software that base on Windows operating system. This mini CNC machine can control three axes at the same time and automatically run. This system have linear interpolation? circular interpolation? MDI running? jog step?simulative run and dynamically showing the G code function. The language that the system uses is industry standard g- code? s-code and m-codes. This system is very useful, because you can do the programme, sculpting for the work piece and training the operation of CNC at the same computer(if you install the relational soft at the same computer such as MasterCAM?UG?CAXA ).
