Overview
Before Secrets of 5-Axis Machining, the best way to get information on 5-axis machining has been by talking to experienced peers in the industry in hope that they will share what they've learned. Visiting industrial tradeshows and talking to machine tool and CAD/CAM vendors is another option, only these people will all give you their point of view and will undoubtedly promote their machine or solution.
Secrets of 5-Axis Machining presents unbiased, no-nonsense, to-the-point descriptions of 5-axis machining information that was gathered during the author's 30 years of hands-on experience in the manufacturing industry, bridging countries and continents, multiple languages - both human and G-Code.
As the only book of its kind, Karlo Apro's text demystifies the subject and brings it within the reach of anyone who is interested in using this technology to its full potential. It is not specific to one particular CAD/CAM system. And it empowers readers to confidently enter this field, and by doing so, become better equipped to compete in the global market.
Features full-color illustrations through that help to explain the theories and principals. Includes a CD containing avi files, high quality illustrations, and sample parts.
