The programming for CAM is very similar to the development of a CADD drawing, save for the fact that the tool paths must follow the most efficient path, and not zig-zag around the part being machined. Also, offsets for the tool radius must be a part of the CAM programme as well.

Modern CAM software makes this very easy, and some is sophisticated enough to analyse a CADD drawing and write the prgramme from that with just a few input parameters. There are many good reference books out there, but if you understand CADD, then you are 75% there already.

CAM is a wonderful thing. It is a revolution in the field of Manufacturing. You can get various books regarding CAM. I think any book can help you first to understand CAM. The very first thing I would suggest is that you search in Wikipedia or Wikibooks on internet for CAM firstly learn from there something and then go for the books which are given in the Reference Section of the Wikibooks.

Even if you want some information I can give you some basic information regarding CAM.

Any way, I hope my suggestions will help you.
