Computer Integrated Manufacturing I is the first of two courses covering computer aided manufacturing (CAM). Computer aided design (CAD) and manufacturing processes will be discussed and implemented utilizing MasterCam 2D CAM software for milling machines and lathes. Parts will initially be drawn directly in MasterCam or imported from other CAD software such as SolidWorks, Creo or Inventor. The numerical control (NC) instructions necessary to drive a computer numerical control (CNC) machine tool to manufacture these parts are then generated utilizing the MasterCam software.
