Description: Parametric modeling, CNC part production, model to CAM system integration, and solid model part representation. Applied CAD/CAM in the role of Computer Integrated Technology (CIM)



MCCCD Official Course Competencies
1. Develop complex solid models. (I)
2. Demonstrate model to CAM system integration. (II)
3. Create integrated CAM files. (III)
4. Demonstrate graphic translation and interpretation of the CAM process. (IV)
5. Use visual simulation for part fixturing. (V)
MCCCD Official Course Competencies must be coordinated with the content outline so that each major point in the outline serves one or more competencies. MCCCD faculty retains authority in determining the pedagogical approach, methodology, content sequencing, and assessment metrics for student work. Please see individual course syllabi for additional information, including specific course requirements.
