PREREQUISITES: MTTC 220 - CAD/CAM I .
PROGRAM: Machine Tool Technology
CREDIT HOURS MIN: 3
LECTURE HOURS MIN: 2
LAB HOURS MIN: 2
DATE OF LAST REVISION: Spring, 2019

Covers the development of 3-D shapes and the codes necessary to produce parts. Requires students to design a new product or modify an existing design. Includes creating surface curves. Focuses on creating tool paths for complex 3-D surfaces.

MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course the student will be expected to:

  1. Creation and manipulation of two-dimensional and three-dimensional geometry in preparation for machining. (a)
  2. Create appropriate process plans and machining strategies for prints, projects and parts. (b)
  3. Students will routinely follow safe machining practices. (i)
  4. Choose proper work-holding devices for part fabrication. (a)
  5. Setting and adjusting all tool offsets and work coordinates. (i)
  6. Adjusting CAD, and or, CAM to produce a part without error. (i)
  7. Upload and download part programs to computer, network, and machine. (i)
