Summary
This subject is for 3. semester of magister study, specialization mechanical technology.
Students will study theory and practice of machining technology (turning, 2.5 axis milling, 3 axis milling, 5 axis milling and indexing cutting) by means of CAD/CAM system. Contents of this subject including: creation and edition of CAD geometry, setting cutting conditions, creation of technological process (strategy of cutting, setting cutting tools, instruction - G, M code etc.), cutting simulation, NC code generation for particular cutting machine.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The subject is connecting with lessons Technology and Machining - subjects what are interested about machining (turning, milling, drilling, and so on.) and CAM systems in Machining. The subject extends knowledge about technological process creation and programming CNC machines tools. It will be used special software for CAM system (CAM - Computer-Aided Manufacturing).
Course Contents
1. Introductory exercises. Options software products for computer-aided manufacturing - examples.
2. Creating and editing used clamping elements, adjustment of processing parameters.
3. Graphic configuration to simulate CNC machines
4. Turning with driven tools - submission of program No.1.
5. 4-axis turning, working on the No.1.
6. Advanced simulation and verification work on the No.1.
7. Milling specified components – submission of project. Practical demonstrations of machining.
8. 3axis milling.
9. 3axis milling, working on the project.
10. Multi-axis milling.
11. Multi-axis milling.
12. Definition graphics tools.
13. with a defined model, control and treatment parameters and characteristics of CNC machines. Practical demonstrations of machining.
14. Final practice - Evaluation.
