ETM 3070 - Manufacturing Design & Laboratory


To study the basic processes of metal separating used in the manufacturing industry. Problems will be presented which will demand practical application in mechanical metal separating processes utilizing manual and Computer Numerical Controlled Machines (CNC). The course also includes an introduction to geometrical dimensioning and tolerancing and precision measurement to learn the capabilities and limitations of each machine process. Problem Analysis will be emphasized
