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 153

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

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
