Course Content
This course covers the fundamental principles of Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM), analysis of machinability of CAD models, and the logic of toolpath generation. Various types of CNC machines (lathe, milling, etc.) are introduced along with tool selection, cutting parameters, and machining strategies. Students learn to transfer CAD data into CAM software, create toolpaths, evaluate simulation results, and interpret G/M codes.
Objectives of the Course
The aim of this course is to enable students to understand computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) systems, comprehend the logic of toolpath generation used in CNC machines, and learn how to transfer CAD drawings to CAM software. Students will apply machining strategies, interpret G and M codes, and perform production tasks in accordance with occupational health and safety rules.
