    Description
    This course is an introductory course to Computer Aided Design and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) advanced manufacturing software. The course covers the fundamentals of developing CAD models of parts, fixture assemblies, and applying CAM strategies and techniques to program code for 2-3 Axis Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) manufacturing equipment. This course introduces the process that takes a product from CAD concept to generating CAM toolpath and compiling the toolpath into CNC code that can be applied to drive simple CNC controlled processes. Processes supported by this class include laser cutting, plasma cutting, water jet cutting, routing, milling, and turning. This course is intended for individuals pursuing career pathways related to advanced manufacturing and product development.
