This one-day course is designed to provide you with a working knowledge of the fundamental differences between programming for a punch machine vs. programming for a profile machine and the relevant steps to produce NC programs for profiling machines. Plus, the key automation configuration settings for the RADAN CADCAM solution applicable for profile machines.
