MCH 122 - Introduction to CAM Credit(s): 3
This course introduces CAM operational basics for both mill and lathe programming using current CAM software. The course includes terminology relevant to PC-based CAD/CAM work, hardware familiarity, system operation and management, folders, file type and structure, menu structure and use, and 2 ½ axis (milling machines) and 2 axis (lathes) tool paths. Emphasis is placed on proper geometric creation, management, relevant utilities, C-hooks, and toolbar and menu functions. (Spring Semester)
Course Learning Outcomes: Upon completion of the course, students will be able to - Design and construct 2D (wireframe) and 3D models for both mill and lathe machine tools.
- Create, edit, and verify mill and lathe tool paths.
- Understand tool definitions and tool libraries for both mill and lathe.
- Select tools and produce tool paths with constructed and imported geometry.
- Verify tool paths and create word address programs (G-code) for CNC machines.
- Apply and edit G-code transfer to CNC machines.
