D T 237 - Mastercam 3-D CAD/CAM

Credits: 4
Focuses on rapid prototyping using Mastercam software. Includes creation and editing of 2D geometry, 3-D wireframe modeling, 3-D solid modeling, and 3-D surface modeling. Students use programming 3-D toolpaths from 3-D wireframe models and 3-D derived and composite surface and solid models. Covers toolpath editing including project and trim functions, as well as production of prototype model using the milling machine. Discusses the verification and editing of toolpath programs using rendered backplots.

Prerequisite: Instructor’s permission.
