Introduction

With mold-making, the main objectives are to achieve perfect surface quality, precision, and
velocity without any need for remachining. Within this context, workflow is typically characterized
by the CAD-CAM-CNC process chain. From the CAD system right through to the control,
Siemens can offer an integrated solution for these requirements in the form of its SINUMERIK
products.
SINUMERIK controls have powerful, highly-developed functions which, if intelligently used,
significantly simplify the complete operation involving programming and milling, and at the same
time the production result is improved.
This manual is a compact resource aimed at experts working in machining environments who
need to get acquainted with the most important basic principles of milling. Based on this, it also
provides machine users with practical tips so that they can organize their work efficiently and
provides programmers with an insight into the functions of the control and the CAD/CAM system.
As regards the various application areas of machining, the dedicated functions that have been
specifically developed for each area are briefly introduced and considered in context.
Although, many aspects cannot be covered in depth by this manual, additional information can
be found in the appropriate SINUMERIK documentation and relevant literature, See "Further
information/documentation" on page 170.
