TME 222 — Advanced Computer Aided Machining
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.
