Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) is designed to instruct students in the creation and modification of two and three dimensional wire frame models as well as the creation, verification and editing of 2-1/2 axis toolpaths. Students will complete design courses on mill and lathe machines under the guidance of a Certified Mastercam Instructor. This course prepares students to test for the Mastercam Associate Level Certification; a rigorous set of practical tests that recognizes a programmer's knowledge and ability to work effectively with CAM software. It is the first benchmark and an integral step toward a Mastercam Professional Certification.
