Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) files are toolpath files that enable a computer-controlled machine - such as a CNC Torch Table or a CNC Milling Machines - to produce parts automatically by using the CAM files as blueprints.
Examples:
- CAM files for cutting steel sheet via CNC Torch Table - the Brick Press is an example - where DXF files are used - CEB_Press_CAM_Files
- CAM files for 3D printing - tubing for the Tractor Construction Set scale models - where STL files are used - see OSE Rapid Prototyping
- Cam files for scale-model laser cutting - DXF files are used - see example at OSE Rapid Prototyping
Protocol
- Take the CAD file.
- Export into the desired format - such as DXF, STL, or others.
- Generate whaever file format is required by the CNC machine, such as Gcode
- Start a page on the wiki calle - Machine/Module Name - CAM Files. Use Machine Naming Convention.
