  2. Digital modeling and fabrication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_modeling_and...

    CNC mills or routers include proprietary software which interprets 2D vector drawings or 3D models and converts this information to a G-code, which represents specific CNC functions in an alphanumeric format, which the CNC mill can interpret. The G-codes drive a machine tool, a powered mechanical device typically used to fabricate components. [4]

  3. Multiaxis machining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiaxis_machining

    CAM software automates the process of converting 3D models into tool paths, the route the multiaxis machine takes to mill a part (Fig. 1). This software takes into account the different parameters of the tool head (in the case of a CNC router, this would be the bit size), dimensions of the blank, and any constraints the machine may have.

  4. 2.5D (machining) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2.5D_(machining)

    Drilling and tapping operations are also possible on a 2.5-axis mill. 2.5D objects can be machined on a 3-axis milling machine, and do not require any of the features of a higher-axis machine to produce. CNC machines use G-code and M-code in order to control the machine and the positioning of the spindle.

  5. Milling (machining) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milling_(machining)

    The original class of machine tools for milling was the milling machine (often called a mill). After the advent of computer numerical control (CNC) in the 1960s, milling machines evolved into machining centers : milling machines augmented by automatic tool changers, tool magazines or carousels, CNC capability, coolant systems, and enclosures.

  6. Numerical control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_control

    A CNC machine that operates on wood CNC machines typically use some kind of coolant, typically a water-miscible oil, to keep the tool and parts from getting hot. A CNC metal lathe with the door open. In machining, numerical control, also called computer numerical control (CNC), [1] is the automated control of tools by means of a computer. [2]

  7. Machining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machining

    CNC machine pouring coolant to keep the tool and parts from getting hot Lathe machine. Machining is a manufacturing process where a desired shape or part is created using the controlled removal of material, most often metal, from a larger piece of raw material by cutting.

  8. PowerMILL - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerMILL

    PowerMill is a 3D CAM software that runs on Microsoft Windows operating system which is used for the programming of toolpaths for 5-axis CNC (Computer Numerical Control) milling machines.
