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.

The popular Learn CNC Video Series from Ivan Irons is now complete and added at CNCInformation.com. There is a special category page at CNCInformation.com that hosts these CNC Video’s and Ivan has just added the CNC Video transcripts for additional learning.

This CNC Information category has all the E-Course Videos and CNC Course Transcripts located in it so whether you have not seen the videos or want to re-watch a particular video, they are right at your fingertips. The category page that houses these video’s and transcripts can be found at: 
There are 7 Days worth of CNC Videos that cover CNC Design, CAD, CAM, Machining, G-Code, and much much more.
Day 1: This video outline what the e-course is and what it covers. The video also talks about the 5 steps to working with CNC. The steps are CNC Design, CAD, CAM, Control and Machining.
Day 2: In this CNC ECourse Video we go over the first step in the CNC Process. The first step is CNC Design.
Day 3: In this CNC Basics Video we go over CAD. CAD Stands for Computer Aided Design.
Day 4: Here on the 4th day we talk about CAM. CAM stands for Computer Aided Manufacturing.
Day 5: Day 5 is all about CNC Control. CNC Control is made up of three parts: The CNC Control Computer, CNC Control Software and the actually CNC Controller.
Day 6: On Day 6 we learn about CNC Machining. This is where the rubber meets the road.
Day 7: This is the 7th and final day of the Learn CNC Basics E-Course. Today is a fun day where we look at a few different CNC projects and what we can do with CNC Technology.

 

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.  

The video tutorial series was made to take beginner to intermediate CNC hobbyists through the major steps in the CNC process. Ivan narrates each video with technical, yet easy to understand descriptions of the process along with useful personal tips from his CNC experience. Ivan’s video series starts out with the design phase, which includes all of the computer design, CAD, and CAM work. These first four video’s were released earlier in the month and now the conclusion of the project has been released with video’s 5-10 which highlight the CNC plasma cutting, grinding, and end product. If you missed the first four video’s they can be viewed at:
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.
 
Video 7: In this video Ivan rough grinds the cnc stomp pad to remove the dross. It’s a rough grind because later we will use a DA Sander to smooth it all out.
 
 
Video 8: During this CNC Video Segment Ivan sands our CNC Stomp Pad with a Dual Action (DA) sander. The CNC Plasma Cut part then is taken over to a stand. Then Ivan starts to look at different traction spikes and how they will look.
 
Video 9: In this video the holes are drilled in the CNC Stomp Pad. The holes are drilled and then Ivan cleansthem out.
We bend the stomp pad while drilling and we must hammer it flat next.
 
Video 10:Here is the final video in the CNC Stomp Pad Tutorial Video Series. In this video, Ivan goes over the final assembly of the stomp pad. Then we watch as we used double sided tape to adhere it to the snowboard. Finally we take a look at some final photos of the CNC Stomp Pad on the Snowboard.
 
Ivan has created a unique and personalized video tutorial series that that leaves the viewer anticipating the next video in the series. The complete video series from start to finish can be viewed at: CNC Videos
