CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) Integration

Explore XR-driven CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) software simulations to teach students how to generate toolpaths for CNC machining. Students will virtually import 3D models, set up machining operations, and create G-code for CNC machines. Interactive lessons guide them through toolpath creation, cutting strategies, and simulating machining operations. Feedback on toolpath efficiency, machining time, and material removal helps refine their CAM and CNC programming skills.

Advanced Machining Techniques (5-Axis Machining, EDM)

Explore XR-driven simulations of advanced machining techniques such as 5-axis machining and Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM). Students will virtually operate 5-axis machining centers to perform multi-axis operations on intricate parts and use EDM to machine hard materials with high precision. These simulations provide valuable hands-on experience in mastering advanced manufacturing processes. Feedback on part complexity, machining accuracy, and process optimization helps refine skills.
