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.
