This practical, easy-to-use and -understand book guides users through a logical, step-by-step approach to learning Mastercam. It evolves from a keystroke by keystroke process to an exploration of programming and post processing programs for the mill. Chapter topics cover Mastercam's working environment, an overview of the Mastercam CAD/CAM process, creating basic geometry, creating and modifying existing geometry, tooling fundamentals, creating 2D tool paths in Mastercam mill, creating lathe geometry, creating tool paths in Mastercam lathe, and importing CAD files. For on-the-job training in programming, setting up, and operating CNC machine tools.

Reflecting manufacturers' growing need to integrate computers into their production processes, this book covers the machining fundamentals—as well as Computer Numerical Control programming and operation of Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine tools. Its focus is based on the authors' many years of teaching experience along with industrial CNC courses at various businesses and industries. Material is presented in a logical, easy-to-understand fashion, to help readers overcome some of the anxiety that has been associated with the subject. Covers the machining fundamentals—as well as Computer Numerical Control programming and operation of Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine tools. Critical topics discussed include comprehensive carbide tooling information, basics of CNC electrical discharge machining, and a CAD/CAM overview. A review of basic right triangle trigonometry emphasizes an important area of understanding for future operators and programmers of CNC equipment. Also features tutorials for Mazak, Bridgeport Ezpath, and Fanuc (FAPT) programming. For future operators and programmers of CNC equipment.

Once again Curran and Stenerson have succeeded in delivering a practical text that is easier to understand and follow than reference manuals. This textbook is reader friendly, offering plenty of exercises as well as step-by-step procedures with clear explanations. The exercises are designed to reinforce the skills for programming and operating CNC equipment using Mastercam, the leading software program in the machine tool industry.  Features of this edition: *Organized so instructors can adjust their presentations for varying levels of proficiency from beginner through experienced operator. *Includes a chapter devoted to creating and modifying basic geometry. *Covers the basic background concepts in a manufacturing environment and then proceeds to advanced techniques.

Machine Tool Practices, Tenth Edition, provides a richly illustrated, practical, and understandable treatment of machine tool technology and related subjects, including measurement and tools, reading drawings, mechanical hardware, hand tools, metallurgy, and the essentials of computer numerical control. The text’s teaching and learning package includes an Instructor’s Manual, PowerPoint slides, and computerized testing. Teaching and Learning Experience: <ul>

Programming

For courses in machine shop, machine tool technology, machining processes/manufacturing processes technology, industrial technology, industrial mechanics, and industrial engineering at the undergraduate level . The all-in-one solution for teaching machining, BPR, GD&amp;T, and CNC courses Machine Tool Practices provides clear, practical, and richly illustrated treatment of machine tool technology and prepares students for NIMS certification. Vast in breadth and depth, this is the definitive text for training computer numerical controllers, conventional machine operators, general machinists, and tool and tie makers. The 11th edition includes dramatically expanded content and supplements on blueprint reading, GD&amp;T, and CNC, giving it the potential to be the sole source of material for courses on these topics, while saving students the expense of two extra texts.

Machine Tool Practices (What's New in Trades & Technology)

This book covers CNC programming, speeds and feeds, carbide tooling selection and use, workholding, and machine setups. The practical, understandable, step-by-step approach makes learning how to program a CNC machining center (milling machine) a much easier and less frustrating task. All standard M- and G-codes as well as canned cycles are covered. There are many practical examples and fully explained line-by-line programming examples. Each chapter has questions and programming assignments to guide learning. The answers to questions and programming are included in an Appendix. Additional Appendices contain typical M- and G-codes as well as those for Mach3 programming.
