3-Dimensional CNC Milling

Course Description:
This course is provided by Central Main Community College and is designed for the machining instructor with an operational understanding of a Haas 3-axis CNC Mill and a working knowledge of 4-axis CNC milling. This course includes both theory and hands on lab time, and provides students with the opportunity to program, set-up, and operate 3 axis CNC Milling Centers for advanced milling operations with an emphasis on three-dimensional milling. Spindle probes are to be used to pick-up work offsets and CMM's for part verification.

Course Contents:
This course includes a syllabus, six PowerPoint lectures, six documents of lecture questions, and documents and CAD files for course projects. The 6-page syllabus includes course objectives, student learning outcomes, course topics,  a weekly schedule, and other course information. 

For orientation purposes PMT 280 Syllabus.pdf is included as a separate attachment and offers a sample of the type of material included in this collection.
