Organic Shapes, Simple Programming: Mill-Turn Machining Without the Dark Magic
Watch the recording of the ENCY webinar: Organic Shapes, Simple Programming: Mill-Turn Machining Without the Dark Magic. Download the project.
Complex sculpted geometry doesn’t have to mean complex CAM programming.
Just in time for Halloween, Gerry Grainger programmed a special spooky item in ENCY: a jack-o’-lantern pumpkin designed to fit over a CNC machine’s status lamp. From setup to full machine simulation, he showed how turning and milling come together on a mill-turn machine to produce a highly organic shape, with programming that stays simple.
In the recording you’ll see
- Setting up the part on a mill-turn machine
- Building the tooling with the new Tool Assemblies in ENCY
- Turning and milling in a single project
- Simultaneous multi-axis toolpaths for organic shapes
- Full machine simulation and collision checking
Who it’s for
CNC programmers, machinists and manufacturing engineers working with mill-turn machines, and anyone interested in how modern CAM handles complex geometry.
