Which software is used for CNC mills?

CAM software is used to program CNC mills to create toolpaths using G-code to automate the machining process. CAM stands for computer-aided manufacturing or computer-aided machining. CAM software takes part files created in a computer-aided design (CAD) software and creates the code to control CNC machines to cut the part. Mastercam, for example, is a CAM software with built-in CAD, but you can also import CAD files from virtually any CAD software to prepare for machining on a CNC mill.
