SMDI 120 - 3D CAD/CAM
CREDIT HOURS MIN: 3
LECTURE HOURS MIN: 2
LAB HOURS MIN: 2
Introduces computer-assisted additive and subtractive manufacturing process. As it relates to automated CNC centers. The student will program, set up and operate the automated equipment utilizing CAD/CAM with much emphasis on proper programming techniques, control familiarity, file data manipulation and machining functions. This course will require the student to design a new product or modify an existing design while focusing on creating tool paths for complex 3-D surfaces.
MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
- Demonstrate knowledge of basic level skills in computer aided manufacturing.
- Describe and apply advanced manufacturing-based workflows for 3D solid modeling, creating part setups, creating and applying toolpaths, simulating manufacturing operations, creating setup sheets and generating post-process NC code.
- Creation and manipulation of two-dimensional and three-dimensional geometry for machining. [a]
- Create detailed process plans for all prints, projects, and parts. [a]
- Design and program introductory CNC processes. [a, b, e]
- Editing CAD, and or, adjusting CAM to produce a part without error. [i]
- Students will routinely follow safe machining practices. [b]
