Course detail

Application of CAD/CAM in Machining Technology II

FSI-HC2Acad. year: 2015/2016

The course deals with technological problems of production preparation, entry prerequisites and with the rules of algorithmization of work in technology. It focuses on the application of computer technology to individual activities of a technologist: selection of a semiproduct, setting working conditions, dimensions in process operation, automatic programming of NC machine tools. Also discussed are the problems of the equipment of CAD computer systems for the area of technology.
