Designing and Engineering CNC Turning Parts:
When discussing software used for the CNC lathe, it's important to differentiate between two main categories: CAD and CAM. Here's a breakdown:
1. CAD (Computer-Aided Design) Software: This software is used to create the design of the part or object that will be cut.
Examples include:
- AutoCAD: A widely used general-purpose CAD software.
- SolidWorks: Popular for 3D modeling in engineering and product design.
- Fusion 360: An integrated CAD/CAM/CAE software that’s becoming very popular.
- CATIA: Often used in the aerospace and automotive industries for complex designs.
- SketchUp: Used for 3D modeling, often for simpler projects.
2. CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) Software: This software takes the CAD design and generates the instructions (G-code) that the CNC machine will follow to perform the cutting.
Examples include:
- Mastercam: A very popular CAM software with a wide range of capabilities.
- PowerMill: Known for its advanced toolpath generation for complex 3D machining.
- Edgecam: Used for various CNC machining applications, including milling and turning.
