5. Master-CAM Master-CAM of CNC Software, Inc. is a suite of CAD/CAM software applications that is easy and intuitive to use, but maintains a depth of features to support the most complicated jobs. It has a comprehensive set of predefined toolpaths—including contour, drill, pocketing, face, peel mill, engraving, surface high speed, advanced multiaxis, and many more—enable machinists to cut parts efficiently and accurately. MasterCAM users can create and cut parts using one of many supplied machine and control definitions, or they can use Mastercam’s advanced tools to create their own customized definitions. Mastercam also offers a level of flexibility that allows the integration of 3rd party applications, called C-hooks, to address unique machine or process specific scenarios. |

8. Sheet Metal Forming Sheet metal forming is a process where pieces of sheet metal are modified to its geometry rather than removing any materials. The applied process generates a force that stresses the material to deform. This in turn gives the possibility to bend or stretch the sheet to a variety of complex shapes. Sheet metal forming is quite common for making shaped components, from soda cans to automotive car bodies. In recent years, the demand for sheet metal parts with different shapes and properties has increased dramatically, due to the development of modern industries. Different techniques for forming high strength, low plasticity and difficult-to-form materials and complex-shaped parts have been developed in the past decades. |

9. Vacuumed forming Vacuum forming is a simplified version of thermoforming, where a sheet of plastic is heated to a forming temperature, stretched onto a single-surface mold, and forced against the mold by a vacuum. This process can be used to form plastic into permanent objects such as turnpike signs and protective covers. Normally draft angles are present in the design of the mold (a recommended minimum of 3°) to ease removal of the formed plastic part from the mold. Vacuum-formed components can be used in place of complex fabricated sheet metal, fiberglass, or plastic injection molding. There are numerous patterns one can make with vacuum forming. The most inventive way to use vacuum forming is to take any small item, replicate it many times and then vacuum form the new pattern to create a more cohesive form. |
