High Efficiency Milling (HEM) (In-Person)
April 18, 2023 - April 20, 2023
Duration: 3 Days
Prerequisite: Basic proficiency in Mastercam Mill and knowledge of CNC mill setup and operation.
This is an intense course on how to implement, evaluate and select components for high efficiency milling to get shorter cycle times, reduce tool wear and extend machine life. Students will learn guidelines to selecting key components with hands on interactions to build their ability in identifying and creating an efficient milling process. The outcome of this course is for students to analyze the whole milling process, select the correct components and create an efficient CNC milling process to increase productivity using Mastercam Dynamic Motion.
Major Topics
- Identify materials and Material Groups
- End mill selection and calculate parameters for specific material groups and programming methods
