MACH 242 CNC Machining II: CNC Machine Processes and Work Holding6 credits
Students will continue to build their knowledge and skills of the CAD/CAM software by designing work holding through the use of CAD and learning new CNC processes, such as the 3D surface contouring toolpaths and advanced roughing cycles. Students may be requested to periodically mentor other students of earlier courses as part of their participation in this course. This class will include team-based learning and projects.
Prerequisites: MACH 241
Course Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course students will be able to:
- Create, modify, and manage work holding models
- Identify various types of work holding and work holding materials
- Select the correct cutting tool and holder for 3D toolpaths and roughing cycles
- Determine depths of cut and radial engagement for various toolpaths
- Determine speeds and feeds for 3D toolpaths and advanced roughing cycles
- Verify advanced 3D toolpaths and roughing cycles while checking for errors and crashes
- Setup and run programs that the student has created
- Troubleshoot toolpath or process errors during machining
- Create a program that includes 3D surfacing and roughing toolpaths
- Produce a product that encompasses MACH 241 and MACH 242 skills and knowledge
Program Outcomes
This course teaches to the following program outcomes:
- be prepared with skills to perform entry-level CNC machining and manual machining
- perform CAD/CAM programming and manual programming
- combine manual and CNC skills to produce a capstone project of complex parts
- set up and operate machine tools with a minimum of supervision
Total Hours: 110 Theory (Lecture) Hours: 10 Guided Practice (Lab or Clinical) Hours: 100
