INET2044 — CAD/CAM Machining
3 Credit Hour(s) This course is an introduction to the concepts of CAM (Computer-Aided Machining). Students will begin by designing spatial models in a virtual 3D CAD (Computer-Aided Design) environment. The CAD software will generate the program code for a CNC machine so that the model can be manufactured. Special attention will be given to practical considerations such as tool path specification; workpiece mounting, alignment, and orientation’ and structural support. NIMS (National Institute for Metalworking Skills) standards will continue to be emphasized throughout this course. This course is not designed for transfer to four-year universities. Students should check course recommendations with the college or university to which they intend to transfer for a baccalaureate degree. The receiving institution always makes the final decision about transferability of credits.
