CAM

In modern CNC systems, end-to-end component design is highly automated using computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) programs. The programs produce a computer file that is interpreted to extract the commands needed to operate a particular machine via a postprocessor (for specific controller), and then loaded into the CNC machines for production.

 

CNC

Computer Numerical control (CNC) refers to the automation of machine tools that are operated by abstractly programmed commands encoded on a storage medium, as opposed to controlled manually via handwheels or levers, or mechanically automated via cams alone.

 

CAD

Computer-aided design (CAD), also known as computer-aided design and drafting (CADD), is the use of computer systems to assist in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of a design. Computer-aided drafting describes the process of creating a technical drawing with the use of computer software. CAD software used to increase the productivity of the designer, improve the quality of design, improve communications through documentation, and to create a database for manufacturing.

 

CAM

Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) is the use of computer software to control machine tools. This is not the only definition for CAM, it may also refer to the use of a computer to assist in all operations of a manufacturing plant, including planning, management, transportation and storage. Its primary objective is to create a faster production process and components and tooling with more precise dimensions and material consistency, which in some cases, uses only the required amount of raw material (thus minimizing waste), while simultaneously reducing energy consumption.

 

CAM SOFTWARE - ICAM ® Software

ICAM offer by ACTECH is the easiest and simplest cam software in the market. Experience cutting programming by only few clicks and you are ready to cut. ICAM is easy to learn with preset plasma / flame cutting tools. Most operators take only few hours to master ICAM..

 

NESTMASTER ™ (USA) - Nesting and Process Optimization Software

NestMaster nesting software, for introductory conventional plasma and oxy-fuel applications, delivers best in-class performance and reliability, yet is also incredibly easy to learn and use. NestMaster's intuitive design allows the most inexperienced operator to work comfortably with the program, which typically can fully learned within an hour-a-fraction of the time it takes to learn the alternatives systems.
