RMET-101 Material & Processing w/ CNC Prog Lab

This course will focus on the understanding and application of manufacturing processes. Students will be challenged to discover and learn how typical piece parts and assemblies are manufactured. Topics include material properties and the following process families: casting, material removal, deformation, consolidation, powder metallurgy, and plastics fabrication. Long Hand G-Code/M-Code programming is also introduced.

Topic Outline

1. Materials used in Manufacturing: Introduce the most common materials used in manufacturing and their properties

2. Manufacturing Processes: Introduce various material processing methods, when & why they are selected, and the economical & environmental considerations for which the engineer must account. Process planning, development, and documentation (e.g. work routers, process plans) will be introduced and included in class coursework.

3. CNC Programming: Students will learn the basics of manually writing G-code for milling & turning machines. Focus will be on FANUC machinery code, with application to other controllers. In later courses. students will build on this skill with the introduction of Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) tools.
