) There are five CNC simulator software CNC Simulator Pro,G-Wizard Editor,CAMotics,NC Viewer
Eureka G-Code. Barely discussing 2 software the first one is CNC simulator pro is a Windows
application used to simulate CNC programs before running them on an actual machine. The
program supports 2-4 axis machines such as Milling machines, Turning machines, Laser Cutters,
Plasma Cutters, Water Jet, 3D Printers, Plotters, and more. The 2 one is G wizard Debugger is
Powerful Simulator Debugger Macros, subprograms, and parameterized programming give you
loads of g code programming power. G-Wizard Editor gives you the tools to simplify,
understand, and harness that power.
2.) Procedural Programming Language.
Functional Programming Language.
Scripting Programming Language.
Logic Programming Language.
Object-Oriented Programming Language.
Generates working software quickly and early during the software life cycle. More
flexible – less costly to change scope and requirements. Easier to test and debug during
a smaller iteration. Easier to manage risk because risky pieces are identified and
handled during its iteration
5.) What is the importance of programming?
Programming languages use classes and functions that control commands.
The reason that programming is so important is that it directs a computer to
complete these commands over and over again, so people do not have to do the
task repeatedly. Instead, the software can do it automatically and accurately.
Automatic programming can be used in some computer research fields to refer to the
process of designing an artificial intelligence (AI) system capable either of autonomously
producing a program to complete a task or self-modifying its own code to enhance
functionality.
Pros
Lets look at the good stuff first… Manual programming is limitless when it comes to
developing a part program. You can set and adjust every fine detail to your exact touch,
whether it’s tweaking feeds and speeds, changing cycle parameters, or using different
cycles.
A bonus if you’re going be programming on a CAM/CAD system, is that you will be able
to understand what exactly is going on and why. Programming software can get pretty
complex these days, and it’s your job to know every little detail on how the part is being
programmed.
Cons
Manual programming definitely has its disadvantages. The time it takes to make a
complete program is probably the biggest downfall. Compared to making a
program/toolpaths on a CAM system, hand writing can take considerably longer,
depending on the machinist. Not to mention the time it takes to run the program out and
make sure everything works.
Another important disadvantage would be the number of errors in the program. When
you’re writing a program by hand or punching it in the controller, it’s very easy to make a
mistake. All it takes is on wrong number, letter, is a misplaced decimal.
Other areas that make manual programming inferior include: not being able to see your
toolpaths, as well as the complication of needing to edit a program and more.
While there are some huge downfalls to manually writing a CNC program, having
the ability to manual edit a program is still extremely important in this industry. Just like
giving a kid a blow torch; not knowing the basics before using high-tech software is a
bad idea.

10.) XYZ Convention The following convention is used for the XYZ axes of Slide3
models: X-axis and Y-axis make up the horizontal plane. Positive Y-axis is north and
positive X-axis is east. Z-axis is always the vertical axis and is positive upwards Nearly
all CNC machine uses a Cartesian coordinate system based on an X, Y, and Z-axis.
This system allows a machine to move in a specific direction along a specific plane. ...
Combine the X, Y, and Z axes at 90-degree angles, and you create a three-dimensional
space for your CNC machine to move around in.
11.) What do I need to run a CNC machine?
1. CNC machine work is highly technical and requires significant training and
preparation. CNC machinists typically must possess a minimum of a high school
diploma or GED. From there, they gain specific CNC sills through technical schools or
community colleges.
Pre-Start.
2. Start/Home.
3. Load Tools.
4. Mount Remove Part into the vise.
5. Set Tool Length Offsets Z.
6. Set Part Offset XY.
7. Load CNC Program.
8. Dry Run.
12.)In simple terms, the reset button moves the cutter to the corner of the machine,
above the work table. If the reset button is not pressed, it is possible that the CNC
machine will start cutting the material in the wrong place or even miss cutting the
material and plunge into the work table.
