Course: Precision Machining Technology III (13203-III) > Section: Using CAD and CAM Software

Production should include

- selecting the post-processor
- editing the post-process program
- generating a setup sheet and tool list
- simulating the program
- transferring the program to the machine.

- What are the basic differences between mill and lathe programs?
- What are the differences between absolute and incremental programming?
- Why are trial runs important before actual program implementation?
- What is it called when one specifies programming from program zero? What is the other mode of programming called?
