Student Learning Outcomes

This course is an introduction to the Mastercam software. Students will gain an understanding of computer assisted CNC (computer numeric controlled) programing software. A guided lab approach to construction of 2D geometry and toolpaths for lathe and router applications will be used. Students will operate CNC equipment in a lab setting, while exercising safe lab practices.Student Learning Outcomes
  • Manipulate basic 2D geometry for lathe and router milling machine using Mastercam software.
  • Input data for tool selection, speeds and feeds of machines.
  • Develop tool paths for u router and lathe
  • Generate basic g-codes using post processors for a router and lathe.
  • Produce projects using CNC router and lathe.
  • Apply safe practices when using lab equipment.
