CAM Process Defined – DIY Computer Aided Manufacturing Tutorial
Ivan Irons at CNC has just completed a new CNC Basic E-Course learning series about the CNC Process. Ivan has just completed video four which is all you need to know about Computer Aided Manufacturing in the series of 6 video’s; video’s 1 thru 4 were previously released. It is a seven part video course that walks an amateur through the basic process of CNC. Those who are beginning to learn CNC will benefit greatly from Ivan’s easy to understand CAM instruction.
The CNC basics E-Course is a video series that was created for the CNC Beginner to give a brief overview of the major steps of the CNC process. Ivan made sure to use simple language to explain complex processes and narrates each video with his own personal tips included. The six videos in the basic E-Course will cover the five prominent steps in CNC:
Design
Cad
Cam
Controlling
Machining
The videos in this basics series that have been released can be found at: CNC Videos
Video4:
Ivan focuses video 4 on CAM. CAM stands for Computer Aided Manufacturing. During the CAM step of the CNC Process Ivan uses software to teach how our CNC Machine should move. There are a number of CAM Software packages on the market which Ivan walks the user through in this video. Ivan goes through CAM Software techniques where he defines things like stock, location, tooling, feed and speeds and the post processor in use.
Ivan seems to have a talent for taking a complex topic such as CNC, picking out the most important aspects, and breaking down those topics into laymen terms. Ivan has started a fantastic CNC basic E-course. Video’s 5 and 6 in the series are set to release in January of 2008.
You can find the CNC Basic E-Course Video’s at Ivan’s Blog: CNC Blog. You can always check on Ivan’s website at CNC Videos to find his latest CNC projects and video’s.
About CNC Information:
CNC Information is an information website that offers users a deeper insight into CNC.
CNC Kits and CNC Plans Info Has Just Been Released on CNC Kit Webpage
CNC Kits are just one of the topics on Ivan Irons’ new webpage that he has added to the CNC DIY category. Users will not only find information on CNC Kits, but also information on CNC Plans and even CNC Blueprints. The CNC Kit section is just one of the latest supporting sections in Ivan’s DIY CNC Category that helps to give Computer Numerical Control DIYers everywhere all of the information they need in order to really “do” CNC themselves. Hence, this is why this Computer Numerically Controlled Kits, Plans, and Blueprints page was added just recently. This Computer Numerical Control Kit webpage can be viewed at: CNC Kits
CNC DIY information is now released on Ivan Irons’ very own DIY CNC Webpage
Learn DIY CNC Machining – Hobby CNC Plasma Cutter Videos Released
Ivan Irons has just completed the second phase of a new CNC video tutorial series on a CNC Stomp Pad Project that is shot in sequential steps. This final phase highlights the machining and finishing steps of his project. It is a step-by-step personal account of a CNC project from the design phase to the end product. It contains useful design and machining tips for all CNC enthusiasts.

Here is a summary of video’s 5-10:
Video 5: In this video Ivan goes through Mach 3 to look over the g-code. He checks to see if we have any problems before we go to the CNC Plasma Cutter.
Video 6: Ivan heads out to the shop and do some work. He shows how he zeros out the cnc plasma cutter and starts cutting the aluminum stomp pad. Once he is done, the stomp pad gets looked over and he notes the slag or dross we will have to grind off next.
