ALP_TRG112:
A one-day course introducing the methods used to generate finalised toolpaths for NC code generation. Starting with three methods of tool creation and the configuration of a 2D drawing for correct location for manufacture, tool side options and start points to suit correct machining. Comprehensive machining cycle application including Pocketing for area clearance, Rough & Finish profiling, Drilling and 3D Engraving.
Standard Machining 9:15 - 17:00
This ALPHACAM standard introductory course are applicable for users of CNC machines that use rotating tools at all levels of software modules;
