MTT 229 - CAM Solids II

Institution:

Delaware County Community College

Subject:

Machine Tool Technology

Description:

This course in advanced principles of Computer Aided Manufacturing/Machining builds on the skills and knowledge gained in CAM Solids I. Topics of instruction will include advanced (multisurface) part modeling and tool path generation for 3-axis milling (similar profiling) machines with additional positioning axis: and multi axis (mill-turn) lathes. Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to: Analyze 3D-parts geometry in order to conceptualize and create tool paths for prismatic (cube-like) part contours and blended multi-surface generation via 3-axis milling; Select an appropriate Computerized Numerically Controlled (CNC) machine tool for required piece-part production; Structure a plan for approaching multi-part, same set-up, tool path generation for difficult to machine piece-parts; Formulate a strategy, and generate axis positioning, as well as tool path code for 4th and 5th axis programming; Generate tool paths for creating cross drilling, face contouring, and c-axis contours on mill-turn machine tool; Customize a generic CNC machine tool post processor to produce desired machine/tool/program operation; Robots software programming capabilities to consumer products and life style improvements.
