TME 222 - Advanced Computer Aided Machining

Institution:

Delaware County Community College

Subject:

Mechanical Technology

Description:

This course provides introductory instruction on advanced piece-part modeling techniques of Computer-Aided Drafting/Design-Computer Aided Machining (CADD-CAM). A broad based instructional approach provides concepts necessary to applying process modeling techniques for both advanced milling and turning. Three-dimensional (combined surface types) geometry and associated tool path coding on multiple work and tool planes will be covered. Advanced solutions for completing four-axis simultaneous turning and integrated mill/turn (C-Axis) and 'live' tooling operations for modern lathes will be included also. Process modeling software packages for advanced three-dimensional machining and advanced turning will be used in instruction for this course. Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to: Describe the basic concepts and performance requirements for effecting translation and manipulation of Computer-Aided Drafting/Design to Computer-Aided Machining (CADD-CAM) data for Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) program creation; Complete advanced work and tool plane definition, and manipulate software functions to perform operational activities involving same; Conduct four- and five-axis position and rotary axis modeling as well as CNC code generation; Identify, create and perform operations on surface primitives and developed (3D composite) wireframe and surface geometry models; Create job plans and 3D surface geometry tool path and associated CNC machine tool code for piece-part production; Plan, create and program synchronized four-axis turning operations; Apply appropriate techniques for modeling mill/turn operations and for creating machine tool code; Plan, develop, edit and execute macros for family- of-parts operations.
