Computer-Aided-Manufacturing Lab

The CAM Lab is a fully equipped manufacturing work cell with a FADAL CNC vertical machining center, a Cincinnati Milacron CNC vertical machining center, two Cincinnati Milacron CNC turning centers, and a Brown & Sharpe coordinate measuring machine (CMM). The labs are used by students in ITEC 345 (CNC Technology) & ITEC 442 (Advanced CNC Technology) classes after they have completed ITEC 344 (Manufacturing Processes) . Students learn how to program all of the machines mentioned above, both manually and using CAM software. These hands-on courses expose students to all facets of computerized manufacturing, including proper setup techniques, logical programming sequences, safety aspects, efficient programming techniques, and statistical process control. Both courses include projects the students manufacture based on their own programming.
