MTT 129 - Solids (CAM) Modeling

Institution:

Delaware County Community College

Subject:

Machine Tool Technology

Description:

This course is designed to provide introductory instruction in the theory and skills associated with Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) solids modeling industry. 3D design / modeling characteristics as well as criteria for constraint and feature-based design modeling will be stressed. Specific elements of designing for Computer Aided Machining (CAM) facilitation will be addressed. Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to: Determine occupational positions and define basic terms relevant to functioning within the engineering design/manufacturing CAM industries; Analyze piece-parts for parametric feature/profile/surface and pattern definition; Describe work and tool planes, axes, coordinate systems, and develops feature definitions for manufactured parts; Interact with hardware/software in order to create and manipulate various views as a means for appropriately displaying a model; Plan and demonstrate steps for creating and modifying (manufactured) part models using a CAM package; Develop intermediate to advanced geometric part features and surface models using extrude, revolve, swept, and lofted function solid modeling techniques; Manipulate part definition history, and edit shapes via cut and paste functions, as well as Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) functions of the solid modeling software; Create/customize and present working (or shopfloor) documents; Analyze factors, design and create/customize, and communicate information regarding templates for manufactured part production; Perform extraction, as well as import and export operations involving graphical data.
