About this course

Modern digital manufacturing bridges design and fabrication through seamless Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) workflows. This text-based course provides a structured introduction to CNC programming using Inventor CAM, giving you the knowledge to convert 3D CAD models into practical machining toolpaths. You will build a solid technical foundation by exploring essential machining terminology, work coordinate systems, and cutting physics before diving into setup configuration and toolpath generation. What you'll learn: - Understand core CNC machining concepts, coordinate systems, and toolpath types - Configure work coordinate systems and define stock parameters in Inventor CAM - Apply high-efficiency roughing strategies like adaptive clearing to optimize tool life - Plan and configure 2D and 3D milling operations, including facing, pocketing, and contouring - Select suitable tooling parameters, spindle speeds, and feed rates - Post-process CAM data to generate functional G-code for CNC machines The course begins with foundational definitions and machining principles before progressing into structured setup procedures and toolpath programming workflows. This course is designed for beginners, hobbyists, and design students with no prior CAM experience. Start reading today to master the fundamentals of CNC programming in Inventor CAM.
