MAC 231 CAM: CNC Turning

Lecture: 1 Lab: 4 Clinic: 0 Credits: 3

This course introduces Computer Numerical Control graphics programming and concepts for turning center applications. Emphasis is placed on the interaction of menus to develop a shape file in a graphics CAM system and to develop tool path geometry and part geometry. Upon completion, students should be able to develop a job plan using CAM software, including machine selection, tool selection, operational sequence, speed, feed, and cutting depth. Pre-requisite(s): MAC 121, MEC 110, MAC 141 and MAC 141A.

Course is offered in Fall.
