CAD/CAM (Creo Parametric, Solid Works, Surfcam, & Mastercam)

Industrial Maintenance & Technology

Machining

Course Description

For Creo and SolidWorks, the course provides an introduction to 3D modeling.  Topics include datums, creating sketches and solid features.  For Mastercam and SURFCAM topics include importing geometry, creating new geometry, generating toolpaths, and verifying paths.

Course Objectives

At the end of this course, the student should be able to:

1. Create sketches with dimensions and constraints
2. Create extruded, revolved and sweep features
3. Create assemblies models
4. Create and edit surfaces
