MECH 270 - CAD/CAM

3 credits

An introductory course in computer aided manufacturing, where students apply part geometry and skills from solid modeling to create tool paths for CNC part programs, used on milling machines and lathes. Students will create setups, tool paths and code for various parts and fixtures using industry accepted methods. This work includes tool selection and libraries, 3D wireless probing cycles and 3D printing to support part/fixture holding.Fusion360 used for modeling and programming.
