Hello everyone,
The company I work for is purchasing a new CNC router. it has been ordered and will arrive within the month. No one here has ever used CAD/CAM software before so we have a bit of a mission ahead of us.
I have downloaded the demo of Bobcad-cam from their website and have begun trying to understand how it works before our software arrives with the machine to give us a kind of head start.
I have a few questions which I hope you could all help with.
1) What is roughing? What is it used for?
2) What is approach-Depart? What is it used for?
3) What is a Pocket? What is it used for?
I know these must seem like really stupid questions to all of you but please remember I have never even looked at cad design before. Also there are no courses or seminars to go on here in England so I am quite stuck.
I will have many more questions after these have been answered so I hope you don't mind me returning with more stupid and obvious questions.
Thanks for any help, really appreciate it.
