      Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) Applications

      Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) Applications

      CNC machines have become popular at modern production facilities, offering a range of benefits including improved product quality, production efficiency and performance. In today’s tough business climate, it is not surprising that demands for efficiency are on the increase. This course will teach you the basics of Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM), and by the end of the course you will have built up an understanding of how item preparation can be streamlined to further maximise benefits and profits.

      The software tools available today for computer aided manufacturing (CAM) support CNC programming in either an interactive or an automatic way. In the software tools, all the information required for CNC programming is organised in multiple views so that all stakeholders – such as production managers, production engineers, maintenance operators and CNC operators – can access the information based on their requirements.

      The course content is independent of manufacturers

      The Basics of Computer Aided Manufacturing course will start off by introducing Word Address Programming (WAP), the CNC programming language. In the next session, students will develop their process planning skills by taking part in industrial case studies. After that, participants will be expected to be able to interpret part geometries with associated product and manufacturing information (PMI) in order to evaluate whether the manufacturing processes are feasible with the resources available. In the last session, participants will build up the understanding required to evaluate planned manufacturing processes in respect of several criteria such as quality, time and cost.

      The process planning knowledge and skills you build up throughout the course can be implemented in any CAM tool, no matter who developed/manufactured it.

      After completing the course, you will be able to:

      • Create computer numerical control codes (CNC) based on the ISO 6983 standard.
      • Analyse 3D component models with product and manufacturing information (PMI) and plan the manufacturing process accordingly.
      • Evaluate the manufacturing process on the basis of a number of criteria.

      Who is the course for?

      The course is aimed at professionals in industry who want to gain more of an understanding of the basics of computer aided manufacturing (CAM).

      Contact wiser@his.se if you are interested in taking this course. 

      Course format

      The courses in their educational form and scope are intended to be combined with work. This means that all courses are:

      • Online
      • Short courses (3 ECTS)
      • Has a study rate of 20% (equivalent to approximately 8 hours a week for 10 weeks)
      • Conducted through self-study as well as occasional scheduled occasions where you get the opportunity to meet other course participants and the course's teachers (these meetings are conducted remotely via Zoom).

      The KK Foundation

      The course is developed within the WISER project. We offer tailor-made courses for digital transformation and are aimed at professionals. The project is co-financed by the KK foundation within the framework of Expert competence. For more information visit: his.se/wiser
