What software is used in CNC machines?

 

CNC machines use CAD and CAM software. The design is drawn up in CAD (computer-aided design). CAD software can create designs in 2D or 3D. Then the prototype is created using CAM (computer-aided design) software. Integrated CAD/CAM systems for a complete solution for design and manufacture.

     

How does CAM software work?

 

Working in partnership with CAD software, CAM programs use a numerical coding program. Your CNC (computer numerical control) machine then uses the data provided from the program to create your 2D or 3D design.
