As CNC machines become more capable of executing complicated designs across more axes of movement at once, the risk of collisions and machine damage increases. This is a key reason why machines-as-a-platform are growing in popularity and importance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Service providers like MasterCam and Provencut use computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) to create digital twins of CNC equipment. Machine shops don\u2019t have to rely on so-called \u201ctribal\u201d knowledge sets anymore. Instead, operators can download machine tool setups, specifications and pathfinding instructions as feed, speed and design \u201crecipes\u201d to execute on CAD designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The advantage of these machine platforms is twofold. First, it gives a shop the means to test machine calibration and product designs in a purely digital setting. Second, it reduces the risk of damage and faulty parts due to a poor match between calibration and workpiece design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moreover, design intent \u2014 including tool choice and finishing instructions \u2014 is baked right into the digital models. No 2D drawings are required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
