INTRODUCTION
CAD / CAM (computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing) is a term that refers to
computer systems that are used to both design and manufacture products. While CAD is the
use of computer technology for the process of design and design-documentation, CAD / CAM
systems are used both for designing a product and for controlling manufacturing processes.
The geometries in the CAD drawing are used by the CAM portion of the program to control a
machine that creates the exact shape that was drawn. CAD / CAM software is most often used
for product development, machine-tooling and manufacturing.
Since the introduction of Autodesk AutoCAD software in 1982, Autodesk has been a
leader in the development of CAD design software. The Autodesk Developer Network (ADN)
offers a variety of CAM tools that work with AutoCAD and Autodesk Inventor software. With
over 1,000 Partners for AutoCAD alone, ADN offers a full range of manufacturing partnered
products. The CAM Industry is an important part of the manufacturing market, and Autodesk has
partnered with the leading players to provide customers access to the tools they need. AutoCAD
is fully interoperable with manufacturing products such as: EdgeCAM or InventorCAM,
GibbsCAM and MasterCAM.
Autodesk Inventor software is a useful tool to help with your CAD / CAM projects. It
provides a comprehensive set of 3D modeling and mechanical design tools for producing,
validating, and documenting complete digital prototypes. The Inventor model is a 3D digital
prototype that helps you visualize, simulate, and analyze how a design will work under realworld conditions before a product or part is ever built - helping manufacturers get to market
faster with fewer physical prototypes and more innovative products.
A milling machine is a machine tool used to machine solid materials. Milling machines
are often classed in two basic forms, horizontal and vertical, which refers to the orientation of
the main spindle. Both types range in size from small, bench-mounted devices to room-sized
machines. Unlike a drill press, which holds the workpiece stationary while cutting as the drill
CNC milling machines are traditionally programmed using a set of commands known
as G-codes. G-codes represent specific CNC functions in alphanumeric format.

Edgecam Software
Edgecam is an industry leading solution for all your production machining needs.
Applications include prismatic and 3D milling, complex multi-axis turning, mill/turn, rotary
and multi-plane milling and family of parts machining. Innovative solutions for a more
Production Milling
Edgecamprovides the production machine shop with a wide range of flexible milling
cycles. Machining efficiency is maximized on simple and complex prismatic parts as well
as those incorporating sculptured surface geometry. With Edgecam you get prismatic
machining combined with powerful 3D solid and surface machining strategies, all in one
complete solution.
2.1.2 4- and 5-Axis Simultaneous Machining
Edgecam 4 and 5-Axis milling products are designed to meet the production machining
requirements of industries such as aerospace, automotive, medical and oil & gas. 4- and
5-Axis simultaneous machining offers key advantages over conventional indexed 3-Axis
machining :
Improved access to undercuts and deep pockets through tilting the tool or
component allows shorter series tooling to be employed, further improving
the surface finish and eliminating the need for secondary setups.
The ability to machine complex parts from solid that would previously have to be
cast. This approach is highly beneficial for prototypes and small volume runs and is
particular applicable with the latest Mill/Turn machines.
Edgecam provides the production machine shop with a wide range of flexible
milling Operations and Cycles. Milling Operations allow the user to quickly produce a
basic toolpath via a simple text and picture driven dialog box. An intuitive interface
guides the user through a series of machining decisions. Ideal for irregular or novice
programmers.
Underpinning Edgecams Operations is a full and comprehensive suite of Milling
Cycles. Each cycle offers the very best that technology can offer thus allowing the
modern day machinist to achieve total toolpath control.
Edgecams advanced roughing cycle for the machining of both 2D and 3D
component parts can be applied to the complete model, providing consistent
performance on all types of model. Laced, concentric and spiral machining strategies
can be implemented as well as bottom to top intermediate slicing between Z-levels.
This intelligent cycle automatically applies the most efficient approach move for each
region of the model and creates trochoidal moves to avoid full width cuts. The ability to
define 3D stock reduces machining time by eliminating air cutting.
Edgecams roughing cycle also incorporates rest roughing, where stock is
automatically defined by the preceding roughing cycle, so the smaller tool only creates a
toolpath in the areas that the larger tool could not access.
Within the inclusion of Prismatic and High Speed cornering controls,
EdgeCAM offers the user total control over their NC output allowing consistent and
accurate programming.
