ME 435 Intermediate Manufacturing
Introduction to advanced parametric computer-aided design and manufacturing (CADM) techniques. Students learn to design parts and assemblies using tools that enable parametric design. A design project is carried through from "blank screen" to production of computer numerical control (CNC) code and fabrication. Also provided is an introduction to structural and thermal analysis tools that are integrated with the CADM program. An oral report on advanced manufacturing technology is required. Occasional field trips to local manufacturing facilities.
