- CAM systems have not reached that point..... YET
- you still need to have some input, e.g. true, actual size geometry ( a car drawn on an A4 sheet will not be made full size )
tool selection, actual chains to be machined, holding method (can't machine where held ), order of operations ( turned before thread cut before parting off )
