Corequisite(s): None.
Pre- or corequisite(s): None.
Computer numerical control theory and operation. CNC Machine operation safety. Computer-Aided Manufacturing principles including tooling, tool path and errors. Machine coding and instruction such as G-code, and pre- and post-processing such as Minkowski geometry. Machining methods and processes.
2 credits
Fabrication Technology
Prerequisite(s): ELTR 190.
Corequisite(s): None.
Pre- or corequisite(s): None.
Introduction to common fabrication processes and associated materials including rapid prototyping technologies, non-machining processes such as welding and brazing, metal and plastic bending, forming, molding and casting. Implementation of digital fabrication processes, such as additive and subtractive manufacturing technology, CND machining, laser cutting. Investigate structural concepts and joining methods.
15 credits
Project Studio
Prerequisite(s): DMFG 201, DMFG 202, DMFG 203, DMFG 205, and DMFG 207, or department permission.
Corequisite(s): None.
Pre- or corequisite(s): None.
An intensive studio and shop blended course that brings together the skills acquired from prerequisite Digital Manufacturing courses and the learnerās discipline-specific knowledge to complete a major digitally produced project from conception to completion (prototype). The approach will be problem-based learning, and projects can be team- or individual-based, under the direction and supervision of a faculty advisor/mentor.
