2. PowerMILL - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerMILL

   PowerMILL (Software) PowerMill is a 3D CAM solution that runs on Microsoft Windows for the programming of toolpaths for 5-axis CNC (Computer Numerical Control) milling machines developed by Autodesk Inc. The software is used in a range of different engineering industries to determine optimal tool paths to reduce time and manufacturing costs as ...

3. Numerical control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_control

   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. It is used to operate tools such as drills, lathes, mills, grinders, routers and 3D printers. CNC transforms a piece of material (metal, plastic, wood, ceramic, stone ...

4. Mastercam - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MasterCAM

   Mastercam is a suite of computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) and CAD/CAM software applications developed by CNC Software, LLC. Founded in Massachusetts in 1983, CNC Software are headquartered in Tolland, Connecticut. [1] Mastercam is CNC Software's main product. It started as a 2D CAM system with CAD tools that let machinists design virtual parts ...

5. History of numerical control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_numerical_control

   History of numerical control. The history of numerical control (NC) began when the automation of machine tools first incorporated concepts of abstractly programmable logic, and it continues today with the ongoing evolution of computer numerical control (CNC) technology. The first NC machines were built in the 1940s and 1950s, based on existing ...

6. APT (programming language) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APT_(programming_language)

   Programming language. APT is used to program numerically-controlled machine tools to create complex parts using a cutting tool moving in space. It is used to calculate a path that a tool must follow to generate a desired form. APT is a special-purpose language and the predecessor to modern computer aided manufacturing (CAM) systems.

7. Computer-aided manufacturing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer-aided_manufacturing

   Computer-aided manufacturing. CAD model and CNC machined part. Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) also known as computer-aided modeling or computer-aided machining[1][2][3] is the use of software to control machine tools in the manufacturing of work pieces. [4][5][6][7][8] This is not the only definition for CAM, but it is the most common. [4]

8. STEP-NC - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STEP-NC

   STEP-NC interface on a CNC, showing product shape and color-coded tolerance state. STEP-NC is a machine tool control language that extends the ISO 10303 STEP standards with the machining model in ISO 14649, [1] adding geometric dimension and tolerance data for inspection, and the STEP PDM model for integration into the wider enterprise.

9. LinuxCNC - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LinuxCNC

   LinuxCNC is a software system for numerical control of machines such as milling machines, lathes, plasma cutters, routers, cutting machines, robots and hexapods. It can control up to 9 axes or joints of a CNC machine using G-code (RS-274NGC) as input. It has several GUIs suited to specific kinds of usage (touch screen, interactive development).
