CNC Programming

Farwest's dedication to employee training and advanced technology ensures that our CNC Programming team stands unrivaled.

You can rely on Farwest’s experienced CNC Programming team to turn your engineered metal processing requirements into accurate, effective, and high quality CNC code and drawings to deliver your job on time and to specification. CNC programming is crucial in modern manufacturing, enhancing precision and efficiency in metal fabrication and construction. It involves creating detailed instructions for Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines, automating the cutting, shaping, and machining processes. As industries increasingly adopt CNC technology, understanding its principles is vital for professionals aiming to boost productivity and accuracy.

Technology

Whether your engineers supply a solid model, a DXF or DWG, PDF drawings, or even a template Farwest has the technology and experience to complete your job no matter how complex or how big. CAD/CAM software plays a crucial role in CNC programming. Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software such as AutoCAD and SolidWorks allows the creation of detailed 2D and 3D models, while Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software translates these designs into G-code and M-code. This integration enhances efficiency and ensures precise final products. File formats like DXF, DWG, and STP are commonly used in the process. At Farwest Steel, we employ advanced CNC programming techniques, including nesting and optimizing feed rates, to deliver high-quality steel components tailored to your project’s needs.

Training

Farwest CNC Programmers complete an extensive training program to certify them on all aspects of our extensive production capabilities. This training is ongoing with a continued focus on new technologies, advanced solid modeling, and encouraging our programmers to pursue industry certifications. At Farwest Steel, we utilize advanced CNC programming techniques to ensure our steel fabrication processes meet the highest standards of quality and efficiency, aligning with our clients’ needs. Our CNC Programmers deliver more than just CNC code, these experts ensure our operations team has the right information, drawings, and supporting files to consistently deliver high quality engineered parts and assemblies, quickly.
