CAM - NC Manufacturing
CAM
NC Manufacturing create and manage data required to drive the tools during the machining of the working part (workpiece RAW). This is possible following a sequence of steps starting from the model of the final part to the output, a CL ASCII file. Next, the final NC Code for specific CNC machine come from post-processind the CL file (Post Processor).
