Overall Educational Objective Introduce the concepts of computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) using contemporary solid modeling software. Subjects include feature-based solid, assembly and mechanism design, dimensioning and detailed drawings for manufacturing, tool selection and tool path generation for CNC machining. Chief goal is to learn how to use computer in planning and analysis of the machining operations.
Course Description The aim of the course is that students acquire knowledge of computer aided process planning and production regarding computerized engineering tools as well as computerized production equipment. It is aimed to introduce computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) theory and applications. The course subjects include CAD/CAM systems, graphical data exchange and integration, process planning, tool path generation, and computer control of machines and processes in manufacturing systems. Projects will focus on design and manufacturing applications using commercial CAD/CAM software for automating the production cycle. Applications include NC machining, design of (optimum) cutting tools and modeling and design of fixtures for dies and molds. Hands-on experience is attained through CNC machine tool laboratory.
Course Description in Turkish Dersin amacı, öğrencilerin, kompüterize edilmiş bir mühendislik ve imalat aracı olark bilgisayar destekli süreç ve imalat planlaması bilgileri ile donanmasıdır.
