Course detail

Application of CAD/CAM in Machining Technology II

FSI-HC2-AAcad. year: 2013/2014

The course is intended as an introduction to the CAD/CAM system focused on the software working in 2D, 3D and 5-axes mode. Also dealt with is hardware of CAM systems. It provides students with basic knowledge necessary for the design of tools, jigs and fixtures in the CAD environment in order to prepare the data for further processing in CAM systems.
