This manual helps engineers and manufacturers improve their knowledge of computer-aided manufacturing software (Pro/Manufacture). This manual—intended for those with some familiarity of Pro/Creo Elements or Pro/Engineer and a basic understanding of machining operations such as milling and turning when consulting this manual—includes numerous tutorials to help you improve your skills. The handbook guides the user to start with a part, create stock around the part, add tools to the list, create different machining sequences and in the end obtain G codes for different Computer Numerical Control machines. You will learn more about three-, four-, and five-axis milling along with two-axis turning. The simple, click-by-click procedure and numerous images make directions easy to follow. CAM software is rapidly evolving, and it’s becoming more powerful every day. Anyone who wants to work in a CAM area must have a basic understanding of G and M codes to succeed in the field. Hone your skills and keep the process safe, precise and accurate with this detailed guidebook.
