MAE 5250 teaches the methodology for creating CAM paths and fixtures.
The first project was an exercise in manual gcode programming. While gcode programming now is something addressed by software, having to manually program a toolpath taught me how to work within the environment of the Haas machine and how to
The C-Block was my introduction to machining metal on the Haas. The toolpath was created with guidance from the instructor.
For this project, we were given a part that needed to be manufactured from a cast blank, and we had to design machining fixtures and toolpaths for the blank.
Yet to be completed, but will involve process planning and machining of a custom design.
