Abstract

This paper briefly describes the steps of production with the help of CNC technology, to show its usage and
advantages in industry. It starts from an idea which is then brought to life in a 3D model designed in the CAD software. It is followed by defining all the parameters for CNC milling using the CAM software. Finally, it is brought to the machine to be milled. In the end, the result is a product that can be used and produced more quickly than if everything had to be done manually. Everything is modelled in SolidWorks, the parameters are defined for milling in SolidCAM, and a G-code got from SolidCAM is loaded using a post processor called Mach3.
