    Description
    Formerly known as ADVM 0063 This course introduces the application of design solutions using Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) cutting and fabrication processes used in product prototyping and light manufacturing. Students design parts and assemblies using graphic design software and prepare digital files for 2-axis CNC laser and waterjet cutting and engraving operations. This entry-level course covers the safe setup and operation of CNC cutting machines and associated support equipment. Students fabricate components from wood, plastics, and sheet metal and apply basic forming, assembly, and finishing techniques. Laboratory activities progress from structured skill development to integrated projects, culminating in a student-developed prototype capstone project. (not transferable)
