MACH 153 MasterCAM: Wireframe/Solids/Toolpaths 2

5 credits

Students will continue to use MasterCAM to translate 2D drawings into more complex 3D solid models. Students will learn more advanced use of milling and turning toolpaths, virtually verify toolpaths, and virtually “cut” parts. These part-program files can then output as functional CNC G-code programs.

Prerequisites: MACH 151

Corequisites: MACH 107 or MACH 117 or MACH 137 or MACH 207
