What basic knowledge do CNC milling machine software programming and mold design require? Where do you start learning?
It is recommended to operate machine tools first, and then to study!
First map (operating a year should be no problem), basic mechanical design (for parameters selection of materials, useful) g and M instruction swansoft simulation software according to the self help. There are programming books, it is best to look at the reasonable knife and notes, imitate examples of programming. To learn another software, you can use mastercam.
Need a lot of things, if you want to learn to master, you can choose only one. Either mold design, or NC programming. A lot of small factories mold design and programming a piece is generally not too difficult mold! Mold design, you should first understand the principles of mold, mold cost accounting and evaluation, mold materials, mold processing technology, mold maintenance, engineering mechanics analysis, mold use process, process performance... And so on, mainly depends on whether you are the injection mold or cold die, casting mold, extrusion die and so on... There is a difference between each one! CNC machining needs to have common knowledge of metal processing, material properties, cutting tools, micro deformation, copper electrode removal and so on!
