Code

ME-PWS3

Version

1.0

Offered by

Mechanical Engineering

ECTS

0

Prerequisites

PWS1 and PWS2 completed

Main purpose

​The course aims to provide the student with knowledge of, and practice in, the workshop's machines and equipment within CNC & CAD / CAM as well as Scanning, including the use of scan data for Reverse Engineering and Inspection

Knowledge

Upon completion of the course, the student will be able to:

  • Program and run basic tasks in 3-4 axis CAM and understand the structure of a CNC program.
  • Have knowledge about the preparation and implementation of scanning on items for either Inspection or Reverse Engineering.
  • Be able to measure deviations and tolerances on the scanned items and be able to understand the meaning of concepts such as Alignment and Datums.
  • Able to convert noncomplex Scan data to CAD and measure the deviation.
  • Have an overall insight into the GPS standard and in practice have measured, scanned and inspected according to the standard.

Skills

​Upon completion of the course, the student will have skills to:

  • CAM program and run CNC programs on a smaller milling cutter.
  • Conduct scanning on modern industrial scanning equipment.
  • Be able to measure surface deviations, tolerances and GPS tolerances on the scanned item.
  • Understand the significance of measurement reports and not least assumptions for the reported data, measurements and tolerances.
  • Understand the meaning and relevance of optimizing a given topic.

Competences

After the course, the student should be able to:

Understand and use acquired knowledge about CAM programming and CNC machining
Use scanning technology in a broad context
Inspection and GPS competence at a basic, but grounded, level

Topics
