Features: This book can be used as a training manual or textbook for vocational education and technical college students majoring in electromechanical engineering, focusing on CNC technology applications, CAD/CAM technology applications, and mold design and manufacturing. It can also serve as a textbook for undergraduate students in mechanical design, manufacturing, and automation. Additionally, it can be referenced by engineering technicians engaged in CNC machining. CNC automatic programming technology is a crucial means of improving CNC programming efficiency and is one of the fastest-growing technologies in CNC. After introducing the basic knowledge of CAD/CAM technology and computer graphics technology, this book focuses on two widely used and cost-effective automatic programming software packages in China: MasterCAM and CAXA. It primarily covers the graphical input methods of these two software packages, as well as the automatic programming methods for CNC lathes, CNC milling machines, CNC machining centers, and CNC wire electrical discharge machining. This enables readers to achieve a comprehensive understanding and apply the principles to other automatic programming software. Furthermore, the book also introduces the content of computer-aided process design to maintain the relative completeness of the series.
