CNC Programming (Using CNC Simulator Pro)
This course teaches you the fundamentals of CNC programming using CNC Simulator Pro. You begin with the basics of CNC machines, their history, types, and the role of G-codes and M-codes in machining. You will learn how CNC programs control cutting tools, coordinate movements, and perform machining operations.
You will then move into CNC Simulator Pro, where you learn installation, interface navigation, simulation controls, pause points, creating commands, adding materials, zero points, and working with both milling and lathe environments. The simulator helps you practice CNC programming safely and visually.
