CNC 221 Advanced CNC Machining
Students will expand even deeper into advanced machining with the introduction of the Y axis Lathe and the 5 axis Mill. Students will learn to set up and operate these advanced machines to create even more complex parts and increase productivity. Students will become comfortable with these advanced machines by the end of the term. Students will dive into the world of 4 axis lathe and 5 axis mill programming. Students will learn some of the most advanced programming and fixturing techniques to machine complex parts. Students will continue to develop new skills around digital metrology equipment such as the CMM. Students will learn to use a CMM to reverse engineer parts with high accuracy. Students will also learn to connect the CMM to their CAD/CAM programs to generate 3D models from the CMM. Lab included.
