Today's CAM systems support the full range of machine tools including: turning, 5 axis machining and wire EDM.

The resulting design is then output in RS-274X Gerber format to load in the CAM system of the manufacturer.

APT is a special-purpose language and the predecessor to modern CAM systems.

Its main product is a 3-axis CAM system that specializes in production machining.

The specifications are continually improved with the help of the practical experience in the factory and are automatically made available for the NC programming in the CAM system.

From the CAM system, all tools used in an NC program are automatically saved as tool list in the tool management.

The format is commonly available, so the CAM system will use it.

In order to use the data, the CAM system may have to reconstruct the connectivity.

This is how all major CAM systems do it these days because it works without failing no matter what the complexity and geometry of the model, and can be made fast later.

The following is a small sampling of companies who use the CAM system from Tebis.
