Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing Laboratory (CAD/CAM)
The CAD/CAM Laboratory provides an instructional environment in the areas of computer aided drafting and manufacturing, NC programming, and solids modeling; and a computing environment where students can put to practice the concepts and principles they’ve studied in their lectures. Graduate and undergraduate students have access to several factory simulation software packages that allow them to design, layout, and simulate activity in a factory setting. Three dimensional views and “fly-through” capabilities enable the students to envision what the factory layouts would actually be like.
- This lab is equipped with...
- 25, Dell Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.4 Ghz workstations with 2 gigabytes of RAM, 256 megabyte graphics cards, and DVD/CD-RW drives
- 20 Inch Flat Panel Monitors
- Black & White and Large Scale Color Laser Printing
- Overhead Projection System with VCR
- On these workstations, students utilize software such as:
- Pro/Engineer to design parts and assembled products
- AutoMod to run factory simulations
- MasterCAM to program computer-controlled machine tools
