2D APPLICATIONS (IRTT001)
This course is designed to provide you with valuable hands-on experience
in the use of MasterCAM and the setup and operation of Cincinnati
Milacron CNC machining and turning centers with Acramatic 850 CNC
controllers. You will learn how to construct 2D drawings directly
on MasterCAM, generate tool-path information files and the post
processing of these tool path files to generate the appropriate
"G Code" files that are suitable for the operation of
both turning and milling CNC controllers. Topics covered include:
2D contouring using MasterCAM; lettering and drilling; pocketing;
turning and facing using CNC lathe-process overview. Actual hands-on
manufacturing operations using CNC lathe and mill constitute the

The off-line use and applications of the Design
of Experiments (DOE) techniques and Taguchi Methods to optimize
a product and a process design will be studied and clearly demonstrated
in this course. The quality loss function as defined by Taguchi
will be explained and derived. The application of the loss function
