Introduction

This AlphaCAM tutorial has been designed to give you a flavour of how
AlphaCAM works, how interactive it is, how easy it is to learn and how easy it
is to use. We assume that you are familiar with the concepts involved in CNC
programming and have a reasonable understanding of your computer and the
Windows operating system. AlphaCAM has been developed as a true 32-bit
Windows 95 or NT application, so if you use other Windows programs you will
be familiar with features such as floating button bars, tabbed dialog boxes, etc.
If not, you should look at HELP | Contents | Screen Layout.

AlphaCAM systems are available for all machining disciplines. Each one is
specifically designed for the machine type, but the look and feel of all the
systems is standard. This tutorial can be used with both Standard and
Advanced AlphaCAM, Laser / Flame or Water Jet, modules. The tutorial
describes the construction and machining of the geometry for the following
drawing.

If you have not already done so, start the AlphaCAM module. This will take
you into the graphical portion of the system. Your screen will look similar to
the one following.
