ENGT 252 - CAM Applications

Description:ENGT 252 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 will be edited for manufacturability. Job setup files will be 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 will be utilized to optimize machining performance. Codes will be downloaded for machining.
