Development of Computer-Aided Manufacturing System for a Jewelry-Making CNC Machine

Abstract

Abstract. This paper designs a CAM system for a jewelry-making CNC machine. The CAM system not only provides a human-computer interface for setting machining parameters, but also can generate special NC programs automatically and realize the simulation for the machining process. In addition, the paper gives an efficient application for machining an ellipsoidal gold bead. The basic design of the jewelry-making CAM system and the experimental results are presented.
