MCHT 2900 - Computer Aided Machining II


This course is designed to introduce the learner to multi-axis machining.  Students use CAM software to create toolpaths in order to generate programs for multi-axis programming.  These programs are used to operate Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Machining Centers.

Credits: 5

Instructional Method Separate Lecture and Lab

Prerequisites:
Completion of MCHT 2800 Computer Aided Machining with a ‘C’ or better, or instructor consent

Minimum Student Competencies
Upon completion of MCHT 2900 Computer Aided Machining II , the student will:

  1. Create 4 & 5 axis toolpaths for Machining centers using Computer Aided Machining software.
  2. Set up the Machining centers.
  3. Create parts using generated code.
  4. Evaluate part dimensions to see if they meet desired tolerances.
  5. Interpret computer generated code to produce accurate parts.
  6. Operate Machining centers in a safe manner.
  7. Post process code using CAM software.
  8. Apply skills essential to succeed with-in the field of computer aided machining.
  9. Apply knowledge using CAM software in a manufacturing environment.


Program Outcomes
Upon completion of MCHT 2900 Computer Aided Machining II, the student will:

  1. Perform safety skills in an industrial setting.
  2. Interpret information from a blue print.
