Targeted capabilities
The intended training objective is end-to-end CAM generation under geometric, machine, and process constraints, with reduced reliance on manual correction. Dataset development targets the following capabilities.
Geometry and feature interpretation
Identification of machinable features and interpretation of geometry, tolerances, and surface requirements to inform operation selection and process planning.
Setup planning and workholding
Selection of part orientations, datums, fixtures, and setup sequences subject to accessibility and workholding constraints.
Tool and parameter selection
Selection of tooling and cutting parameters conditioned on material and geometry, accounting for tool reach, rigidity, and deflection.
Complete toolpath generation
Generation of roughing and finishing sequences, including entry and exit moves, linking motions, clearances, and tool changes.
Machine-specific NC
Post-processing for a specified machine and controller, including work offsets, tool calls, and controller-specific commands.
Simulation and revision
Identification of collisions, gouges, and residual stock, followed by program revision and reassessment using simulation feedback.
Error recovery
Diagnosis of failed operations, invalid toolpaths, and CAM software errors, followed by corrective changes and regeneration of affected operations.
Machining performance
Selection of machining strategies that balance cycle time, tool wear, and surface finish while satisfying dimensional requirements.
