ATAP 2030 - 2D MasterCAM - Mill Programming & Machining

Credit Hours: 2.00
(2 contact hrs)
This course teaches the general concepts of MasterCAM for milling. Through lecture and lab assignments, the student will learn basic two-dimensional toolpath skills. Beginning with 2D wireframe construction, students will learn the interface and how to design basic models. These models are then used to create drawings and 2D CNC mill toolpaths using the CAM module. Terminology used in the field of CAD/CAM will be emphasized. South Campus.

Prerequisites:
None

  4. Import and export various file types.

Outcome 2: Upon completion of this course, students will be able to create two dimensional toolpath operations.

Objectives:

  1. Define drilling operations.
  2. Define profiling operations.
  3. Define pocketing operations.

Outcome 3: Upon completion of this course, students will be able to edit toolpath operations.

Objectives:

  1. Modify cutting parameters.
  2. Modify geometric chains.
  3. Modify tool conditions.

Outcome 4: Upon completion of this course, students will be able to post-process toolpath operations to CNC machines.
