Frequently asked questions
Machining is a process where machines shape raw materials into parts. It can be done manually or with automated machines like CNC systems.
Computer-Integrated Machining uses computer-controlled machines and software to make parts faster and more accurately. It includes:
- CNC machines: controlled by software to cut, drill, or shape parts
- CAD (Computer-Aided Design): used to design parts
- CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing): converts CAD models into instructions for CNC machines
In short, Computer-Integrated Machining is a modern, high-tech version of machining. It uses software and automated machines for faster, more accurate production.
1. CNC machines
- CNC milling machines – to cut and shape flat or complex surfaces
- CNC lathes – to make round or cylindrical parts
- CNC plasma/laser cutters – for high-precision cutting of metals or other materials
- EDM (Electrical Discharge Machines) – for intricate, detailed work
3D printers
2. Software tools
- CAD (Computer-Aided Design), such as Solidworks and AutoCAD
- CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing), such as MasterCAM and Autodesk Fusion
- CNC Simulation Software, such as Vericut
3. Measuring tools
- Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM)
- 3D optical scanner
- Hand tools, such as calipers and micrometers
Yes. Most courses are offered in the evening. If a class is not available one semester, it is often offered the next.
Classes typically begin in the fall or spring semester.
