BESTAI CAM · USER GUIDE

Drop in a drawing, press one button,
and the machining package builds itself

BestAI CAM is a desktop app. You just drag a customer drawing into the window and press Create case. From there the AI works down the whole chain — 3D model, G-code against your shop's machines and tool library, cutting simulation and dimensional verification — and assembles a browsable machining package. Below we walk through every step with one real drawing.

The example drawing in this guide

Liquid mixer (Version 2) · aluminum 6061 · 120 mm long · two ⌀35.1 bores, M4 threaded holes, 2×⌀8.0 through holes, surface Ra 1.6 µm. A typical CNC drawing with tolerances, threads and deburring notes.

Example CNC drawing: Liquid mixer Version 2, aluminum 6061, with three views, an isometric view and dimensional tolerances
▲ This is the kind of customer drawing you drag into BestAI CAM. Everything else is handled for you.
Screens marked “Actual screen” below are the software after this drawing was actually run. (App UI is in Traditional Chinese.)

01Drop in the drawing

Open the app, click New case, and you get a large drag-and-drop upload zone. Drag the file straight in, or click to choose it.

BestAI CAM new-case window: the liquid mixer drawing is selected, shown with a green check and file name; the part number / material / part name fields are all marked optional; a blue Create case button sits at the bottom right
ACTUAL SCREEN
The new-case window: dropping a drawing shows a green check and the file name; part number / material / part name are all marked optional and a customer can be chosen; that blue Create case button at the bottom right is the one you press.

02Optional details (all can be blank)

Part number, material and part name are all optional. Leave them blank and the AI reads them from the drawing — for this drawing, it reads the material as aluminum 6061, the 120×70 outline, and each hole and thread.

03Press Create case — that's the button

As long as a drawing is attached, Create case is clickable. The moment you press it, the AI starts building — no further commands from you. This one action kicks off the whole automatic chain that follows.

What happens behind the scenes?

The app creates a “case = folder”, drives the local AI engine, and produces the package step by step following your shop's settings — all on your own computer.

04Watch the AI build live

A stage bar at the top lights up and advances in real time; the timeline beside it shows what the AI is doing at each step and which files it produced. You don't operate anything — just watch it run. The nine stages, in order:

StageWhat this step doesOutput
① Setup & shop rulesCreate the case folder, read in the drawing and your shop settingsDrawing
② Read & planThe AI reads the drawing and plans the work steps aheadWork plan
③ 3D modelingBuild the part into a 3D solid model from the drawing3D model (STL)
④ Verify & measureAI self-check: measure the 3D model and compare against the drawingVerification & 3D measurement
⑤ G-codeGenerate the machining program for your machines and tool libraryG-code & tool list
⑥ TechpackProduce a shop-floor instruction deck (PPT/PDF)Techpack
⑦ Cutting simulationProduce a 3D animation of the machining you can rotate with the mouseCutting simulation
⑧ Mastercam (optional)Only if the customer uses it: produce a Mastercam import packageMastercam package
⑨ DeliveryAssemble an overview report and deliver the whole caseOverview README
BestAI CAM run view: the nine-stage bar at the top all shows green checks, a timeline lists the action count per stage, and a chat panel on the right shows the AI's closing summary
ACTUAL SCREEN
The run view during / after building: the nine-stage bar lights green one by one, the timeline shows how many actions each stage took (read & plan 42, cutting simulation 44…), and the chat panel on the right is the AI's closing summary each round.

05Confirm the AI's assumed dimensions

This is the most important step, and the heart of “AI accelerates, the professional makes the final call.” Anything not clearly marked on the drawing that the AI assumed (ASSUMED) is pulled out onto confirmation cards for you to confirm.

06Browse the full results by tab

When building finishes, switch to the package portal and browse each output by tab. Tabs with no output are dimmed, so progress is obvious at a glance.

ACTUAL SCREEN Here are the real tabs for this example (the liquid mixer) once finished:

3D model tab: a three.js viewer shows the liquid mixer's 3D model, rotatable, with four-view thumbnails below
3D model — the solid model the AI built from the drawing, rotatable, with four views
G-code tab: NC program with line numbers and syntax coloring, three files OP10_TOP / OP20_BACK / OP30_PORT, 253 lines
G-code — the NC programs for three operations, with line numbers, coloring and copy
Cutting simulation tab: a CNC simulator shows the stock block, a T1-T12 tool list on the right, OP10/OP20/OP30 operations, X/Y/Z coordinates and playback controls
Cutting simulation — a playable 3D machining animation with tool list and coordinates
3D measurement tab: a CNC-02 liquid mixer measurement vs drawing comparison table, listing drawing value / 3D measured / delta / tolerance / verdict per dimension, all matching
3D measurement — the AI measures the 3D model and compares each dimension to the drawing (verdict “match”)
Techpack tab: an embedded PDF machining instruction deck, 8 pages, with part specs, a feature summary table and engineering views
Techpack — the shop-floor instruction deck (PDF/PPT, printable)
Overview tab: the whole-case report and key summary
Overview — the whole-case report, one page to understand the job

In one sentence

Drop in a drawing → press Create case → watch it run → confirm the assumed dimensions → browse the results by tab. The modeling, programming, simulation and verification in between are all automatic; you keep the one thing that matters most: the final judgment.
