Description
This Cnc Programming: G-Code To Production eBook from 3D-LABS is written for engineers and students who want a clear, practical reference they can apply immediately.
CNC Programming: G-Code to Production covers CNC machining programming from G-code fundamentals through multi-axis milling, turning, and CAM software (Mastercam and Fusion 360 CAM) — including tool selection, cutting data calculation, work-holding, and production setup sheets for Indian machining workshops. Written for CNC programmers, machinists, and manufacturing engineers.
What standards does this book reference?
EIA RS-274-D (G-code standard), ISO 6983-1:2009 (numerical control of machines — program format), IS 8673:1977 (numerical control of machine tools — vocabulary), and CMTI (Central Manufacturing Technology Institute, Bangalore) cutting data handbook for Indian tool and workpiece materials.
What G-code programming is covered for CNC milling?
Modal G-codes: G00 (rapid positioning), G01 (linear interpolation at feed rate F mm/min), G02/G03 (circular interpolation clockwise/counter-clockwise using R radius or I/J centre offsets), G43 (tool length compensation), G54-G59 (work coordinate systems). Cutting data: spindle speed S = (1000 x Vc) / (pi x D) RPM, feed rate F = fz x z x S mm/min, where Vc is cutting speed (m/min), fz is feed per tooth (mm), z is number of teeth, and D is tool diameter (mm).
What cutting data does the book provide for Indian workpiece materials?
Carbide tooling cutting speeds (Vc, m/min): IS 2062 E250 mild steel 120-160 m/min, SS 304/316 stainless 80-100 m/min, IS 210 Grade FG200 cast iron 100-140 m/min, IS 733 HE30 aluminium 300-500 m/min. Feed per tooth fz: 0.05-0.15 mm for end mills, 0.1-0.3 mm for face mills. Depth of cut: roughing ap = 3-5 x ae (radial width), finishing ap = 0.2-0.5 mm.

About CNC Programming: G-Code to Production
CNC Programming: G-Code to Production is part of the 3D-LABS Manufacturing series — a focused e-book library for manufacturing engineers, production managers, and quality professionals. This title covers lean manufacturing, Six Sigma, quality control, industry 4.0, and process optimisation, with worked examples and industry-current best practices drawn from real manufacturing projects.
Written by practising 3D-LABS engineers and reviewed by senior specialists, CNC Programming: G-Code to Production is designed to move you from concept to competence quickly — not to be a comprehensive academic reference, but a working reference you actually use.
Who CNC Programming: G-Code to Production is for
CNC Programming: G-Code to Production is written for manufacturing engineers, production managers, and quality professionals. If you are:
- An early-career engineer wanting to accelerate your practical knowledge in manufacturing.
- An experienced practitioner looking for a compact reference on current practices.
- A student preparing for engineering exams, interviews, or your first professional role.
- A manager or team lead wanting to level-set your team on manufacturing fundamentals.
Then CNC Programming: G-Code to Production will earn its price back in the first project or exam you apply it to.
