Job Description
1. Program Development & Coding
CAD/CAM Utilization:
Import 2D blueprints or 3D digital models from engineers into Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software (such as Mastercam, SolidCAM, or Fusion 360). Generating G-Code and M-Code:
Convert the visual CAD/CAM designs into standard machine-readable language ( G-code
for motion and
M-code
for auxiliary functions like coolant control). Manual Programming:
Write or edit code manually directly at the machine console when quick adjustments or simple programs are required. 2. Process Planning & Machining Strategy
Tooling Selection:
Choose the correct cutting tools (end mills, drills, inserts, etc.) based on the material being machined (e.g., aluminum, titanium, plastics) and the required finish. Calculating Speeds and Feeds:
Determine the optimal spindle speed (RPM) and feed rate (inches/millimeters per minute) to maximize efficiency, protect tooling, and ensure part quality. Defining Machining Sequences:
