MET 219 - CAD/CAM

This course introduces Computer-Aided Manufacturing using Mastercam software. The basics of Numerical Control (NC) programming are covered including G and M codes, absolute and incremental positioning and canned cycles. Part geometry is created and edited using Mastercam software. Job setups are prepared, tool path is specified and a tool library is created. Part machining is verified graphically and NC code is post processed and downloaded to CNC machine tools to produce actual parts. This course includes a laboratory section that has experiments and activities specifically designed to facilitate knowledge acquisition of course subject matter. Students must register for a lab component of this course.
