Manufacturing: Advanced Manufacturing - MFG 212

Course Description

This course will cover fundamental Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) processes. The students will be exposed to CMM machines for checking parts to prepare them for what they would experience in a real world machining job environment. Particular course emphasis will be on setting up and operating a CMM machine to check parts. We will be using CMM software, including PC-DMIS and Zeiss, on Brown and Sharpe and FaroArm machines.
