Cam techniques are currently considered important in milling. Some of it's major advantages are that models or tools are available quickly, it can be controlled directly from 3d cad, practically all materials can be cut i.E. From plastics to non ferrous alloys, fast production of several products or small functional series are possible, thin-walled products can be made. It can cut straight into hardened steel and many more.
With the help of cam milling - simple and complex models and tools made from virtually any material can now be milled quickly and efficiently. Some students use a cam milling machine to cut out and shape lettering.
