CERTIFICATE IN
Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Subtractive Manufacturing
15 Credits
- Learn to solve technical CNC manufacturing problems by applying principles of engineering, science and mathematics
- Ability to design, test and conduct hands-on projects that are current with today's CNC manufacturing industry
ENGINEERING PROGRAMS DESIGNED FOR THE FUTURE
This certificate program will cover CNC manufacturing equipment and systems used in the subtractive manufacturing field. Students will gain hands-on experience by developing computer aided manufacturing (CAM) programs with G-Code, Mastercam and Catia for the Haas mill and Okuma Lathe CNC machines. Best industry practices for safety machine shop management and organization will be shown to students in preparation for entry into the manufacturing field. Part inspection will be conducted with the use of traditional gauges and a granite inspection table, in addition to precision measuring with a complex measuring machine (CMM) from Aims Metrology and Renishaw. Upon completion of this program, students will have a strong foundation in real-world CNC and CAM problem-solving skills for manufacturing.
This certificate program will enable students to develop a strong foundation for real-world problem-solving as well as hands-on experience with CNC manufacturing equipment and systems used in the subtractive manufacturing field.
