Description
The CNC Lathe Programming course teaches the fundamentals of CAD/CAM systems. Topics include software operating systems, drawing commands, editing commands, tool-path generation, and post a program.
Upon course completion, students will be able to:
• Create basic 2D geometry construction.
• Modify existing geometry.
• Demonstrate 2-Axis toolpath generation.
• Perform basic 2D toolpath editing.
• Demonstrate how to post a program file to create NC code.
• Create advanced 2D geometry construction.
• Perform advanced modification of existing geometry.
• Demonstrate advanced 2D toolpath editing.
• Perform calculations needed to operate precision machine.
