Successful completion of MFG165 or consent of instructor

Course continues to build on the foundation completed in MFG 165. Focus is on creating 3D wire frame models, surface modeling, 2D/3D solids using advanced commands including; special automatic tool path cycles, routines using post-processor translator, and graphic simulation for complex CNC machining that requires creating a five axis simultaneously tool path.

Upon completion of the course, the student will be able to:

• Demonstrate and understand of the principles of advanced computer assisted NC programming of 3D solids.
• Write, enter, and debug Master CAM programs.
• Post-process source programs into usable CNC code.
• Identify Tooling and Fixturing problems in Multi-axes NC/CNC machining.
• Design or select tooling to solve manufacturing problems with complex solid part geometries.

Students and employees at Oakton Community College are required to demonstrate academic integrity and follow Oakton's Code of Academic Conduct. This code prohibits:

• cheating,
• plagiarism (turning in work not written by you, or lacking proper citation),
• falsification and fabrication (lying or distorting the truth),
• helping others to cheat,
• unauthorized changes on official documents,
• pretending to be someone else or having someone else pretend to be you,
• making or accepting bribes, special favors, or threats, and
• any other behavior that violates academic integrity.

There are serious consequences to violations of the academic integrity policy. Oakton's policies and procedures provide students a fair hearing if a complaint is made against you. If you are found to have violated the policy, the minimum penalty is failure on the assignment and, a disciplinary record will be established and kept on file in the office of the Vice President for Student Affairs for a period of 3 years.
Details of the Code of Academic Conduct can be found in the Student Handbook.
