ENGT 252 CAM Applications
is a hands-on course that utilizes commercial CAM software to create CNC machine code directly from a CAD model database. Various two-dimensional and three-dimensional surfaces are modeled and edited to generate CNC code. CAD models are edited for manufacturability. Job setup files are customized to represent the specific CNC machine to be utilized. Post processing and code editing techniques are utilized to customize the generated code for specific machines. Tool path modeling and simulation methods are utilized to optimize machining performance. Codes are downloaded for machining. This course is applicable toward all certificates and degrees; areas of concentration include manufacturing technology/machining (credit hours 3.0, lecture hours 2.0, lab hours 2.0).
