Description

An intermediate course focusing on Computer Assisted Manufacturing (CAM) and its use in creating parts of increasing complexity for both mills and lathes. Students will create parts, apply toolpaths, implement multiple work planes, and conduct analysis of machining processes within the CAM system. Students will also setup and operate the parts they have programmed. This course introduces students to complex 3-axis and 4-axis toolpaths.
