MEC 209 — MEC-209. Introduction to Advanced Manufacturing And CNC Programming. 3 Credits
LECT 30 hrs LAB 30 hrs A continuation in the manufacturing process using Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) milling and turning. Students will learn about and develop advanced manual CNC programs as well as computer-assisted programs (post-processed) derived from CAD (Computer Aided Drafting) drawings. The CNC programs will focus mainly on operations involving three axis milling machines and two axis lathes, but will also touch on operations involving advanced fixture setup and control. Topics will include spindle controls, tool changes, linear and circular interpolation, drilling and tapping, subroutines, and G&M codes. In addition, the course will cover a variety of advanced manufacturing techniques in additive manufacturing (3D Printing), EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining), and reverse engineering techniques using scanners and the CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine). Prerequisites: ENR-117 and (( MEC-117 and MEC-118 ) or MEC-109 ) Additional Fees: Course fee applies.
