Introduction:
Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) is regarded as cutting-edge technology for manufacturing planning and control to boost productivity by mastering the use of special computer programs. This course aims at introducing participants to the machining process, its variables and practical training on CAM software using 2-5 axis methodologies for CNC machines.
