CNC milling and turning in model making (PoD)

Computer-controlled production has also become indispensable in model making. Not only industrial manufacturers, but also more and more model makers themselves are using CNC-controlled machines to produce parts. In this book, Christoph Selig initiates you into the secrets of CNC milling and - for the first time – CNC turning. He comprehensively covers the hardware, the software, and the machine tools. The subject is the basics, but above all the practice of conversion and CNC-controlled manufacturing, so that the reader gets a complete insight into this fascinating technology, which in some cases revolutionises model making.
