Advanced CNC Milling ProgrammeA four-day course exploiting the use of CAD/CAM for 3D CNC milling processes. Explore advanced cutting strategies employed by CAM systems. This is a practical “hands on” course with machining & computer activities.

Course aimsThis course enables the candidate to gain an understanding of the principles employed in 3D CNC milling techniques using CAD/CAM software:

• Milling for mould tools 3-axis milling

• Milling Mould 5-Axis for multi-axis milling

• The process for milling complex surfaces

• The process for programming a mill-turn part

You will gain an understanding of different cutting strategies used in the latest CAM software suites.

Who should attend The course is aimed at candidates who have a good basic understanding of CNC milling operations and a basic understanding of CAD packages.

Candidates will also have knowledge of G-coding and programming using Canned Cycles, they should have the desire to up-skill and expand their present abilities to meet future demands.
