MACH 76A Computer Aided Machining I

Units: 3
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 74A and MACH 74B. 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 program Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) machine tools. The student will develop computer-generated drawings, define tool paths, select tooling, select fixturing and generate CNC code for vertical milling centers.
