MACH 134 — Computer Aided Manufacturing
Credit Hours: 4 Prerequisite: MACH 117 with a grade of C or higher. Computer Aided Manufacturing consists of combining both engineering design and machining processes. During this course, it will be necessary for the student to be familiar with computers and machining. Throughout this course, the student will have the opportunity to gain, but not limited to the following skills: creating, modifying 3D models, creating and editing CNC G code. Students will combine both Modeling skills and CNC skills to create from a 3D model file a usable and fully functioning CNC program using only “program outputted code”. Students will also learn how to modify code and modify CNC machine “posts”. Students will also build on the already learned skills of: importing and exporting programs safe setup/operation of automated machine tools, setting work Course Descriptions and tool offsets, identifying tools, and G and M codes. Offered Fall and Spring. (1 lecture, 3 lab)
