MFG 243 - CAM II - Mastercam 3D

4 Credit(s)

Prerequisite(s):

MFG 242 or permission of Instructor.

Course Description: As the second of two courses for Mastercam CAD/CAM software, this course teaches students how to construct advanced 3D geometric models using geometric, free form, and derived surface types. All aspects of roughing and finishing machining cycles are covered with focus on safe and correct application and use of parameters.

Course Learning Outcomes:

CLO#1: Create 3-D wireframes and surfaces in Mastercam for milling toolpaths.
CLO#2: Apply toolpaths to 3-D models for machining purposes.
CLO#3: Verify toolpaths in simulator to refine working models.
CLO#4: Apply proper set-up techniques to CNC mill to produce programmed part. (ILO: Critical Thinking)
CLO#5: Demonstrate safe and proper shop practices while operating CNC equipment.

Typical Required and Recommended Equipment and Materials: Flash drive, 8 Gig minimum recommended.
