RMET-225 Advanced Manufacturing & CNC Programming
This course will provide students with a thorough understanding of advanced manufacturing methods and technology. Topics include Additive Manufacturing (aka 3D Printing), Electric Discharge Machining (EDM), Injection and Compression Molding, and others. CNC Programming with CAD/CAM software will also be significant portion of the course. Course will culminate with students designing their own component to be machined in the labs at FLCC (as a remote course, they will submit the code and view real time video of execution on the FLCC equipment).
