Your Ideas To Life with 3D Design & Programming
Other elements of product engineering that 3D CAD software streamlines and automates include simulation testing, sketching and drafting, manufacturing, data management, computer produced animation, and more. designers can readily modify design intent using the 3D model faces themselves, allowing for intuitive design adjustments.
Rapid idea development: Envisioned concepts can be correctly sketched for early visualization and 3D printed rapid prototypes.
Specialization: Spreading CAD throughout the business fosters specific knowledge, resulting in a shared understanding of how to deliver specific parts to the manufacturing-ready level.
Visualization: Cutting-edge 3D renderings, animations, and virtual reality experiences of works-in-progress can enlighten and wow clients and potential customers.
Optimization: Faults and flaws can be recognized and optimized much more quickly in a virtual environment. The use of precisely toleranced mechanical drawings bridges the gap between design intent and production reality.
Rapid manufacturing: CAM systems and rapid manufacturing technologies allow products to be manufactured more quickly.
CAM Programming
The manufacturing process of the part can be classified into three types.
-
Creating a 3D representation of a part in a CAD program
-
CAM system design of the manufacturing process on a CNC machine
-
Manufacturing on a CNC machine
CNC machinists and industrial robot programmers utilize CAM software for engineering.
CAM software is used to generate ready-to-use toolpaths. In other terms, it is a highly automated tool for developing machining technology in a virtual environment.
A 3D model is used as the input data for CAM software. G-code is the output data.
Usually CAM software includes:
-
toolpath strategies,
-
toolpath calculation module,
-
simulation module,
-
toolpath to g-code translation module,
-
g-code verification module.
