This course introduces the student to computer-based CAD/CAM (Computer Aided Drafting / Computer Aided Manufacturing) using MasterCAM software, an industrial standard. CAD/CAM uses CAD drawing tools to describe geometries of an object. The CAM portion of the program defines the toolpath that directs the motion of a machine tool to create a product that is the exact shape that was drawn. This introductory course familiarizes the student to MasterCAM using mill, lathe, and solid tutorials.
Prerequisite: Completion of MAT 085 or higher with a C or better, or Accuplacer Arithmetic score of 230 or better.
