Students in the Certificate of Achievement-Advanced are taught the fundamentals of Product Model Making. Students learn the safe setup of CNC equipment, how to design and construct three-dimensional objects using CAD/CAM software and how to analyze materials and processes used in prototype model making. Upon completion, students are prepared for employment working in design-stage product development and prototype and model making environments.<br>Upon completion, students will be able to<br>Construct and inspect machined projects using conventional and CNC equipment that uses word address programs<br>Design and construct three-dimensional objects<br>Create part geometry using SolidWorks or Creo/Pro Engineer CAD software<br>Differentiate and analyze the materials and processes used in manufacturing<br>Produce tool paths with constructed and imported geometry using Mastercam
