Description: The Certificate of Completion (CCL) in CAM Systems Programming program introduces the skills needed to translate product sketches and engineering designs into electronic design systems that are the basis for Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM). The program focuses on CAD/CAM application to the machine language to operate the Computer Numerical Control (CNC) systems that produce the machined product on CNC lathes, milling machines, and other manufacturing equipment.
