Understanding CAD/CAM step by step – KELLER.Academy
In our first course of 2026, the focus for Mr Schober from Waldemar Link GmbH & Co. KG was a hands-on introduction to the CAD/CAM workflow with SYMplus™: How do I build a geometry? Where do I click—and in what order—to get to the right tools and settings? And how does SYMplus™ turn all of that into a CNC program?
Thank you for visiting the KELLER.Academy, Mr Schober, and congratulations on successfully completing the course.

What to expect in the video:
✅ Outer contour with RN transitions (G41, G1, G2)
✅ Circular pocket/rectangular pocket (G73, G72)
✅ Milling an arc groove (G75)
✅ Drilling & threading (G81–G84)
✅ 2 mm Chamfer
Who is this video for?
Perfect for CNC programmers, machinists, and instructors looking to improve their PAL G-code programming skills for CNC Milling.

From Practical Experience to Teaching Confidence: Trainers Strengthen CNC Skills at the KELLER.Academy
Even trainers sometimes need training themselves. Mr. Schöntag from Motion Makers GmbH has plenty of hands-on experience at the machine, but for his role in vocational training, he wanted to gain a deeper understanding of how SYMplus™ is structured and how the PAL (CNC) basics are applied in practice.
For that, the course “Basic DIN/PAL programming with SYMplus™” was the perfect choice.
Thank you for visiting the KELLER.Academy, Mr. Schöntag!
