MFET 3710 - Computer Aided Manufacturing and Rapid Prototyping

Credits: (2)
Typically Taught Spring Semester: Full Sem
This course will introduce and explain concepts behind Computer-Automated Manufacturing (CAM). It will define elements, terms, and concepts involved with CAM. Elements of rapid prototyping will also be covered from conceptual design in solids to production of tooling and parts. This course is designed for those who have the basic understanding of the setup and operation of CNC machine tools and programming. Software will be used to perform the CAM operations, such as part generation and post processing.
Pre-requisite(s): MFET 2440/MFET 2440L, PDD 1010, PDD 1160 or MFET 3460.
Co-Requisite(s): MFET 3710L.
