PMT 262 Advanced Mastercam/Multi-Axis - Spring 2015

Students will import solid models and design simple multi-axis parts into Master Cam CAD/CAM software to create programs for a variety of multi axis CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machine tools. The course includes creating tool paths, choosing correct cutting tools and posting a CNC program to be verified on a computer to creating a finished part on a CNC machine tool. Students will be responsible for setting-up and running CNC machines that include multi vise set-ups, 4th axis tombstone, and 5 axis trunnion. Along with a CNC turning center with live tooling, "Y" axis, and bar feeder. All parts produced will be programmed with Mastercam. Please note that all course materials and content are provided in the IMS Common Cartridge (IMSCC) format. The content can be accessed by opening the IMSCC file using your organization's Learning Management System application (these include Blackboard, D2L, Canvas etc.). Additional information about accessing Common Cartridge files can be found on the IMS Global Web site: http://www.imsglobal.org/cc. Future plans for the Skills Commons Web site include a feature that will allow users to view and download course content that is provided in the IMSCC format.
