Stock setup for 2.5-axis CAM

Module overview

Learn how to create a CAM setup for CNC milling by defining the digital stock, setting the location of the work coordinate system (WCS), and selecting appropriate post processor settings. These steps establish the foundation for accurate toolpath generation and successful machining.

After completing this module, you'll be able to:

• Define digital stock size.
• Locate a Work Coordinate System (WCS).
• Define post processor settings in the setup dialog.
