MACH 76B Computer Aided Machining II

Units: 3
Hours: 18 hours LEC; 108 hours LAB
Grade Options: Letter Grade
Term Typically Offered: Every spring term
Prerequisites: MACH 74A Computer Numerical Controlled Machining - Mill with a grade of “C” or better.
This course is based on the knowledge and skills learned in MACH 76A Computer Aided Machining I. The course combines the study of machine tool theory, blueprint reading, and related mathematics with hands-on shop experience. The emphasis of the course focuses on the use of Computer-Aided Drafting/Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) software to generate programs and 3D toolpaths for Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) mills. The student will develop computer generated drawings, define tool paths, and generate Computer Numerical Control (CNC) code. Surface and solid modeling will be introduced.
