MET 141 CAD/CAM/CNC Lathes

This course covers the design-prototype-manufacture workflow of 2- & 3-axis live-tooling turning centers. Students will safely operate, maintain, setup, program, run, & troubleshoot 2- & 3-axis live-tooling turning centers. Students will design, program, & manufacture components using 2- & 3-axis live-tooling turning centers in multiple ways: manually writing G-Code, conversational programming, & with CAM software. Students will measure parts with precision measurement instruments and inspect the physical part to a blueprint of their own design, to include geometric dimensioning & tolerancing (GD&T).
