Abstract: The paper presents aspects regarding the management of the CAD-CAM turning operations. Activities and processes carried out in order to obtain a shaft of relatively medium complexity are described.  For the constructive design SolidWorks software is used, for technological design – SolidCAM, and the manufacturing processes are performed on a numerical control lathe of EMCO Concept Turn 55 type.

Keywords: CAD-CAM management, turning operation, lathe machine.
