In this course, students investigate the operation of Computer NumericalControlled (CNC) machines. They explore CNC Machining as subtractive manufacturing technology and analyze its methods of safe operation. Students examine the purpose of offsets and their calculation, application, and storage. They identify appropriate machine tools and cutting tools for various production processes. Using a hands-on approach in the lab, students relate the removal of material from a solid block to produce a component per specifications outlined on a mechanical drawing or CAD model.

In this course, students examine mechanical print-reading and shop safety. They practice reading and interpreting symbols, tolerances, and notes found on mechanical drawings. Students practice visualizing and interpreting various mechanical print views and projections. They explore safety practices and related safety documentation in the machining environment, the use of personal protective equipment, and identify unsafe work practices. Upon completion of the course, students will be prepared to earn industry certifications.
