MACH 155 MasterCAM: Wireframe/Solids/Toolpaths 3

5 credits
Students will begin to use MasterCAM to design and document machining processes in which raw stock is selected and controlled through the entire manufacturing process to completed machined parts. Students will produce high quality part-programs along with detailed process control documents.

Prerequisites: MACH 151  and MACH 153  

Course Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course students will be able to:

  • Plan, develop, document, and improve machining processes
  • Document machining processes and improvements
  • Create, modify, and manage multiple toolpath groups and viewsheets
  • Create, modify, and manage custom softjaws for milling and turning
  • Create, modify, and manage multiple Work Coordinates Systems (WCS)
  • Manage different Construction Planes and Graphics Views
  • Organize multiple machining operations and their various toolpaths
  • Create more complex 2D and 3D toolpaths
  • Calculate appropriate cutting depth vs radial engagement
  • Verify 2D toolpath to check for errors and crashes
  • Generate and edit the G-Code for use on the CNC machine
