Students complete a series of exercises that progress from designing a two-dimensional part and creating a contour toolpath to more advanced CNC Lathe and Mill applications. Safety and efficient machining will be stressed throughout the course. Course Objectives: The purpose of this course is to orient students to the Mastercam program and interface. Students successfully completing this course will have a good introduction to accomplishing common drafting and milling operations with Mastercam Lathe and Mill. Students will be required to demonstrate hands-on skill working with 2D and 3D toolpaths. CAM I prepares students for additional study of Mastercam Surfaces and Solids and builds specific Proficiencies for Safe and efficient operation of CNC Lathe and Milling Machines. Methods of Instruction: A combination of lectures, demonstrations and exercises are used to guide students to a series of competencies. Specific skills are gained and measured, by the completion of the exercises. Method of Evaluation: Class Participation 25%, Programming Exercises and Quiz’s 50%, Final Exam 25%.
