MACH 135 — Advanced Computer Aided Manufacturing
Credit Hours: 4 Prerequisite: MACH 134 with a grade of C or higher. Advanced Computer Aided Manufacturing consists of combining both engineering design and machining processes. During this course we move beyond the fundamentals and move into advanced operations like 4th and 5th axis Machining. All students will need to be proficient 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 and tool offsets, identifying tools, and G and M codes. Offered Fall and Spring. (1 lecture, 3 lab) MARINE TECHNOLOGY
