CAD/CAM II is designed to reinforce and expand upon the skills learned in Orientation to Technology and help the student acquire knowledge and skill in the use of numerical control (NC) and computer numerical control (CNC) using our Laguna CNC Router. The course will also include NC and CNC general concepts and programming procedures using G and M codes. Students will have hands-on experience in manually programming, and setting up a CNC Router. Students will become familiar with Windows, AutoCAD, and Mastercam to aid in programming our Laguna CNC Router and Thermwood CNC Router. People who can build, repair, operate, program CNC equipment are in high demand. The ability to apply math, science, and design concepts to complex problems is becoming increasingly important. The class is designed to prepare students for the world of work, advancement to the local community college, or a four-year university under the umbrella of engineering and manufacturing. In this class, we are given the option to choice our own project. Below is the process in which I made mine.
