Features: This book can serve as a training manual or textbook for personnel engaged in CNC technology application, CAD/CAM technology application, and mold design and manufacturing in higher vocational education's electromechanical major. It can also be used as a textbook for undergraduate students of mechanical design, manufacturing, and automation. Additionally, it can be referenced by engineering technicians involved in CNC machining. CNC automatic programming technology is a crucial means to improve the efficiency of CNC programming and one of the fastest-developing technologies in CNC at present. 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 cutting. This enables readers to achieve a transferable understanding of other automatic programming software. Furthermore, the book introduces the content of computer-aided process design to maintain relative completeness in the series.
