F Advanced CNC Programming Using CAM (formerly MACH 062 F)

Catalog description

45 hours lecture and 27 hours lab per term. This course provides the student with advanced instruction in the concepts and practices associated with using Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software to prepare CNC machine programs for both mills and lathes. Students will build upon prior experience using CAM to develop 3D wireframe models, surface models, derived models, and composite surface models. Students will process programs that demonstrate the features and functions of the software. Students entering this program may enter a variety of manufacturing related fields such as machining; quality control; engineering; fabrication; and production management. (Degree Credit) (CSU)
