Is AI the Future of CNC Programming? | Machine Shop Talk Ep.105

Video Description

What if you could get your CAM program finished 80% of the way, with only a single click of a button? Sounds too good to be true, doesn't it? Remarkably, @TeamCloudNC has taken this lofty promise and is delivering each and every single day with their new CAM Assist plugin for Mastercam and Fusion, and Ian Sandusky from Lakewood Machine & Tool is here to take it for a test drive! Much like automation on the floor is aimed at taking the repetitive, mindless work out of the human hands to free staff up to do more productive and meaningful work, CAM Assist from CloudNC is bringing that same approach to the production bottleneck of CAM programming. With just one click of the CAM Assist button, CloudNC uses the power of AI to generate a program that is at least 80% of the way ready to make chips, usually only needing human interaction to verify things like speeds & feeds and to double-check the approach.
