In this course, you are introduced to blueprint reading, CAM setup, machine safety and operation and inspection. This course focuses on the steps throughout the process of digital manufacturing to lay a foundation to build upon. You apply this knowledge and review a blueprint for a CAD model for manufacture, setup digital manufacturing, prepare a vertical CNC mill for operation, machine and inspect a part.

After completing this course, you’ll be able to:

• Identify parts of a blueprint
• Identify GD&T symbols and Datums
• Create a CAM setup for manufacturing
• Understand Machine Safety best practices
• Set up a VMC for use including indicating a vise and setting up tooling
• Operate a CNC mill
• Inspect a machined part
