CNC 301 Basic Tool Path for Mill and Lathe
In this course, students will use 2D and 3D CAD to create basic tool paths for both mills and lathes. They will be able to create and verify CNC code, develop set-up documentation, and verify manufacturing data meets current engineering revisions. Students will learn how to select the proper cutting tools and create basic tool paths. They will create tooling libraries and write operations for each machine tool motion that is needed. They will be able to technically write set-up documentation that includes, traceability, stock size, machine loading instructions, operations that need to be performed, and engineering revisions specific to the project. Lastly, they will learn theories about posting code and machine control definitions.
