CNC HANDBOOK

CNC Handbook - Autodesk CAM Solutions (Link no longer valid)
"CNC Machining is a very broad subject and there are many ways to do most things. Covering all options would fill volumes and is beyond the scope of any one book or course. The goal of this course is not to turn and engineer into a journeyman machinist. Rather, it is to show how to use CNC to make common types of parts, teach DFM principles, and help engineers become better designers and managers."

The goal of this course is to teach persons with a technical background how to program and operate Computer Numerical Control (CNC) mills and lathes.

This course bridges the gap between what persons with a technical education know and what they must learn to begin using CNC machine tools. The types of parts, materials and machining operations that engineers, innovators, and niche manufacturers often use are featured. Work holding techniques well suited to prototype and short-run production are detailed and used as examples.
