CNC Training with CAM Software + 3D CAD (Product Design for MFG)

Course Overview

3D CAD (Product Design)

Create 2D sketches and 3D models
Part modeling, assembly, and drafting
Sheet metal, surface modeling, and parametric design
Design for Manufacturing (DFM concepts)

CAD is the foundation where ideas are converted into digital product models (CustomProc)

CAM Software (Manufacturing Programming)

Import CAD models into CAM software
Toolpath generation (2D, 2.5D, 3-axis, 5-axis)
Tool selection, feeds & speeds
Simulation of machining operations
Post-processing → G-code generation

CAM converts CAD models into machine instructions for CNC (Koenig-solutions.com)

CNC Machine Training

CNC machine fundamentals (Milling & Turning)
G-code & M-code programming
Machine setup & offsets
Tool setting and job execution

Hands-on machining practice

What Students Actually Learn (Industry Skills)
