The AM Command [MLC]

The AM command is used to control an additive or hybrid manufacturing device on the machine, which is available as a separately licensed option of GENER. This command is valid for milling, turning and contouring machine types but may not be available on a specific machine.

\textbf{AM /} \begin{pmatrix} \begin{array}{l} \textbf{ON} \\ \textbf{OFF} \end{array} \end{pmatrix}

\textbf{AM / } \big[ \textbf{ POWER}, \big] \, value

The AM/ON command enables material deposition at the current or machine default power setting. Material deposition then remains active until disabled by an AM/OFF command.

For those machines that support it, the deposition power can modally be controlled by specifying the required power value, optionally preceded by a POWER keyword.
