ETM 2510 - Production Metal Machining


Theory and practice of production techniques for metal machining using manual and computer numerical control (CNC), machine tools, and non-conventional methods such as electrical discharge machining (EDM). Includes part print analysis, process analysis and planning, quality assurance factors, and computer-aided design and machining (CAD/CAM). Lab activities include programming CNC turning and machining centers to create molds and mass-produce parts.
