MET 44000 - Advanced CNC Machining

Advanced CNC Machining is a continuation of the basic machining and introductory CAD courses. Students learn additional concepts for manufacturing metal and plastic parts by developing CAD drawings, translating these drawings into CNC code, producing parts on a CNC lathe and a CNC machining center, and analyzing the process and results. Shop safety and preventive maintenance are also emphasized.
