Course detail

Application of CAD/CAM in Machining Technology II

FSI-FAC-KAcad. year: 2011/2012

The course is intended to widen and deepen the knowledge of design and manufacturing technology - machining focused on the material, logistic and automation aspects of processes which take place during the interaction of the cutting tool - workpiece - machine tool. Emphasis is placed on the optimization of technological processes when using computer technology.
Also dealt with are the problems of semi-product selection, order of processes, machine tool selection, cutting tool selection and assessment of cutting conditions including automatic NC programming and CNC application.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Course-unit credit is awarded on condition of having attended the practicals and worked out individual assignments. Exam tests student's knowledge of computer technology and its application to the construction modelling used in machining technology. Practical part of the exam reflects student's ability to create a model in CAD/CAM systems.
