The course will introduce students to all the stages of the CAD/CAM process and manufacturing process with CNC machines. On successful completion of this course, students will be able to illustrate the key principles of manufacturing using a CAD/CAM system; produce 3D Solid models of a component using CAD software that is suitable for transfer into a CAM system; use CAM software to generate manufacturing simulations of an element and produce a dimensionally accurate component on a CNC machine using a CAD/CAM system.
