MET 2500 - CAM Programming

3 Credits

Prerequisite(s): CAD1320, MET1130, MET1140, & MET1320
This course is an introduction to CAM programming using SolidWorks CAM Professional. Computer aided manufacturing will be used to create machining strategies on 3D profiles using 2.5 axis CNC milling, 3 Axis CNC milling, as well as CNC turning. Topics include defining the coordinate system, constructing material stock box, and building of tool cribs that will be used to produce a completed part. The course will formulate tool paths, machining features, and machine simulation to generate an NC program for CNC machining. Offered (Spring)
