Course Content
A student who successfully completes the Computer-Aided Machine Tools course gains essential competencies for industrial manufacturing processes. Through this course, students learn to effectively use computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) software to design parts and products, program, and operate automated production equipment such as CNC machines. They also develop the ability to integrate design and manufacturing processes to enhance productivity and gain knowledge about the operation and maintenance of machine tools. These skills enable students to solve technical problems in industrial production environments and to develop awareness of occupational health and safety practices.
Objectives of the Course
The course aims to provide students who intend to work in the field of computer-aided manufacturing with both fundamental and advanced knowledge. In this course, students learn the concepts of CAD, CAM, and DNC. The main objectives include planning machining operations suitable for mass production, selecting appropriate cutting tools, designing fixtures, and writing part programs for CNC turning and milling machines. Additionally, the course covers generating toolpaths and digitally simulating the manufacturing process using commercial CAM software.
