 RATIONALE:
This is Technology course which has relevance with the courses taught earlier
namely Manufacturing Processes and advanced manufacturing processes. After getting
conversant with the basic manufacturing processes and production processes, it is necessary
for a technician to know about the advancements in the area of manufacturing and
production processes. The subject will impart knowledge & skills necessary for working in
modern manufacturing environment.
This subject will help the student to get familiarized with working principles and
operations performed on CNC machining centers, generation of part program and study
tooling of CNC machine.

 COURSE OUTCOMES:
After completing this course students will be able to–
1. Select CNC machine for given type of work.
2. Apply G code and M code for specific machining process.
3. Select sequential tool list for given machining process.
4. Develop CNC program for sequence of operation.
5. Operate CNC machine for given job.
6. Measure dimensions of finished product for confirmation to drawing.
