ENST 2342 Advanced CNC Programming

3 [2 lecture hours + 3 lab hours] (5 contact hours/week)] Credit Hour(s) Credit Hour(s)

A state-of-the-art machining course that expands the computer-assisted programming skills presented in CNC Milling and CNC Turning. The course includes 3D surface and solid modeling, four-axis programming, bar feeder applications, and modification of post-processors.
Student Learning Outcomes:
Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to:

Create, input milling properties, and simulate cutting operation of 3-D surface and solid modeling features by computer-assisted methods.
Create, input milling properties, and simulate cutting operation of 4-axis features by computer-assisted methods.
Calculate and input bar feeder variables in controller.
Align 4-axis chuck and tailstock.
Develop and test a post-processor for specific outputs.

Prerequisite(s): ENST 2341 or approval of the program coordinator.
This course is not designed for transfer to four-year universities. Students should check course recommendations with the college or university they intend to transfer to for a baccalaureate degree. The receiving institution always makes the final decision about the transferability of credits.
