For mold manufacturers using multi -axis machine tools, the development of CNC programs that make full use of these machine tool functions may be challenging. The purpose is to make full use of the motion of the machine tool additional axis (workbench or blade) in a more effective way, while providing a good surface smoothness of the mold surface.

In recent years, the synchronization movement of machine tools has become more and more complicated, which makes CAM software systems facing difficulties in mathematics and technology. With the rapid development of mechanical processing technology, it is difficult to develop CNC programs that can run machine tools at the same time.

In addition, software products designed for multi -axis machine tools must be easy to use and can correct errors. Because the materials, high -precision tools and accessories used in these advanced machines are very expensive, even small programming errors can cause major losses.

Based on these prerequisites, the challenge faced by CAM software developers is to combine these powerful programming functions with the programming process that are easy to understand. These characteristics must be clearly explained to guide users to complete the programming process and avoid errors in the determination of the knife path. At the same time, it does not make the programming process rigid or limited.

In order to provide users with a variety of processing solutions, CAM software development has been decomposed by four -axis and five -axis processing into special functions that can be used for various tool paths. In fact, some CAM developers are proud of providing a variety of special functions.

The cost of developing such software is difficult to understand the function of the system. Typical users only understand and use the limited number of functions. The busy CNC programmers cannot remember the use of many functions of the CAM system, so they often only write their familiar features and ignore other functions.
