CAD103 Fundamentals of CNC Programming
The goal of this course is to teach persons with a technical background how to program and operate Computer Numerical Control (CNC) mills and lathes. This course bridges the gap between what persons with a technical education know and what they must learn to begin using CNC machine tools. The types of parts, materials and machining operations that engineers, innovators, and niche manufacturers often use are featured. Work holding techniques well suited to prototype and short-run production are detailed and used as examples. Numerical technology provides accuracy and extra strength. Knowledge and skills regarding modern manufacturing systems that use CNC technology, are emphasized.
