Introduction to Computer Aided Manufacturing

Catalog description

This course studies modern prototyping and manufacturing methods to create Computer Numerical Control (CNC) programs. Using the students’ knowledge of Computer Aided Design (CAD) and the operations of Computer Numerical Control (CNC), they develop CNC programs, by means of Computer Assisted Manufacturing (CAM) systems. Using commercial CAM software, students will convert 2D drawings and 3D CAD models into CNC toolpaths. Students’ output will be tested on two-axis and three-axis machining centers.
