MACH 151 — F Mastercam-Lathe 3 Units
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 Mastercam or similar software. Importing/working with solid model lathe planes, align solid body and WCS creating / extracting required geometry for toolpath setup. Chuck and stock geometry creation for main and sub spindle toolpath verification. Develop Custom Lathe Tools for Facing, Turning, Boring, Drilling, Threading operations necessary for CNC machine programs. Students will build upon prior experience with Mastercam to develop 3D wireframe models, surface models, derived models, and composite surface models. Processing programs that demonstrate the features and functions of the software will be covered. Students taking this course may enter a variety of manufacturing related fields such as machining; quality control; engineering; fabrication; and production management. (Degree Credit) (CSU)
