Based on Solidworks and Mastercam Combined for Rub a Drum of Four-Axis NC Machining Programming Research

Through the whole process of the design and manufacture of the product of rub a drum machine in the Solidworks and Mastercam software, the author proposes modeling parts and blanks by Solidworks software. Meanwhile fits together assembly module of parts and blanks by Solidworks, and then imports the graphic data to Mastercam software, using the basic method of NC programming by the layer from the part contour line and realizing integration technology form design to manufacturing. The combination of Solidworks and Mastercam means the practicability and innovation of application of NC machining technology. The method is simple and practical, especially for the most engineering and technical personnel to use.
