In parallel with the increase of computer controlled machine tools (CNC) in the manufacturing sector, computer use is spreading rapidly. Professional computer software that supports product design and manufacturing in computer environment, thus improving product quality, shortening processing and preparation time, maintaining technical data and details of the product and providing great facilities in transportation, also have a common usage potential in related sector.
Whether it is from computer-controlled loops or from computers, raising the yields requires knowledge of the computer programs used alongside production and processing information. It is also an advantage that the production preparation steps (program writing, preparation of the process plan, etc.) can be carried out independently of the loom through these programs, directly contributing to the productivity of the loom.
In today's challenging competition conditions, it is inevitable for industrial organizations to learn and apply CAD-CAM techniques of technical staff who will provide technical service. To this end, the basic principles and practical use of CAM programs (Solid Worksr or Catia) for machining, which are widely used by major industrial organizations in the world and in our country, will be demonstrated practically.
