DFAB 207 Metal CNC Technologies introduces students to machining metal using various tools including CNC machining and turning centers. Students will learn standard setup and operation techniques for various machines, how to implement computer aided design (CAD) and computer aided manufacturing (CAM) software to generate the appropriate tool paths, and how to test their learning through CNC simulation before setting up and running the program on physical machines.
