MTT 118 — 3D Numerical Control Graphics Programming
Units: 3 Lecture Hours: 36 Lab Hours: 54 Outside Hours: 72 Grading Method: Letter Credit Status: Credit, degree applicable Conditions of Enrollment: Prerequisite: MTT 1 15 with a minimum grade of C. This course covers Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM), emphasizing interactive graphics programming for Numerical Control (NC) machines. Students will utilize various techniques of creating geometry on multiple work planes, three dimensional (3D) surface toolpath creation and manipulation, implementing 4th and 5th axis machining, generating surface to surface intersections, creating blends between surfaces, creating roughing operations for 3D and Computer Aided Design (CAD) data conversion for the purpose of 3D machining.
