CNC Machining II

The complete program includes intermediate multi-axis, intermediate CAD/CAM, and Metrology. This course is a hands-on study of programming setup and operations of 3, 4-axis milling, and intermediate CNC turning. This is an intermediate course only available to students who have obtained successful completion of CNC Machining 1. The objective of this course is to introduce turning, 3, and 4-axis programming, setup and operations, 3D tool pathing, and intermediate set ups. Students will learn the benefits of 4-axis in the manufacturing industry and understand the use of turning, 3, and 4-axis for increased proficiency and intermediate tool pathing. This program converts 2D and 3D CAD drawing geometry directly into tool path information used to drive numerically controlled milling machines. This course's objective is to provide the basics of CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) set up, programming and operations. Students will learn the capabilities of the CMM, its use in the manufacturing environment, terminology, and quality assurance standards including introduction to Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerance (GD&T).
