Description:

Prerequisite(s): University Advanced Standing and ME 3210. Introduces the theoretical concepts and practical application of Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM), and Computer Numerical Control (CNC). Emphasizes the central role of the solid model in the seamless integration between CAD and CAM, the automated generation of toolpaths, and final automated production.. Covers manufacturing concepts that considers some aspects of design for manufacturability, mechanical assembly, tolerancing, and process planning. Provides hands-on experience in implementing CADCAM to design parts for manufacture, simulating toolpaths, planning processes, and generating part programs to manufacture parts such tools (dies, fixtures, and molds), prototypes, and system components using CNC through lab work and projects. Software fee of $50 applies. Course lab fee of $17 applies.
