MACH 151 MasterCAM: Wireframe/Solids/Toolpaths 15 credits
Students will learn to use MasterCAM software to translate 2D part drawings (blueprints) into 3D models of parts comprised of wireframe elements and solid models. Toolpath will then be selected and assigned to cut various features of the model until the entire part is programmed.
Prerequisites: ABED 46 (or placement into ENGL 93 or higher) and MATH 87 or AHSE 66 (or placement into MATH 98 or higher)
Course Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course students will be able to:
- Create, modify, and manage basic 2D wireframe from part drawings
- Create, modify, and manage basic 3D solid model geometry from part drawings
- Create, modify, and manage Work Coordinates Systems (WCS)
- Utilize different Construction Planes and Graphics Views
- Select the machine type and define the material type, material size, and various tool settings
- Organize multiple machining operations and their various toolpaths
- Create basic 2D toolpaths
- Calculate appropriate speeds and feeds
- Calculate appropriate cutting depth vs radial engagement
- Verify 2D toolpath to check for errors and crashes
- Generate the G-Code for use on the CNC machine
Total Hours: 50 Theory (Lecture) Hours: 50
