Activity 9

9-1. Mill out the maze prototype

9-2. Begin challenges to meet several high-level problem-solving objectives

In Activity 15, students will take the Vocabulary Test and the Post-test.

Activity 9 through Activity 15 require students to complete challenges to meet numerous high level problem-solving objectives. The objectives for the challenges in this CPU include:

Challenge 1

You will conduct research on a career of your choice in the manufacturing field. Share your findings in a presentation.

Challenge 2

You will develop a CNC program and mill out a part based on Reference Drawing One and using cutter compensation techniques.

Challenge 3

You will develop a CNC program and mill out a part based on Reference Drawing Two and using sub programming techniques.

Challenge 4

You will develop a CNC program and mill out a part based on Reference Drawing Three and using plane commands.

Challenge 5

You will develop a CNC program and mill out a part based on a design/sketch of your own.

Challenge 6

You will develop a CNC program and mill out a part based on a playing board design in the Introduction to CNC guide.

 

Carousel Plus version 8 has a new, beautiful and intuitive tab-based interface that gives you quick access to every facet of the program.
