Machining

1995 - CBU received NSF - ILI grant for Integrated Laboratory for Manufacturing Education.

Integrate undergraduate instructions in modern design method, agile manufacturing, and automated assembly.

Utilize the state-of-the-art mechanical design software - Pro/ENGINEER.

Focus on parametric design, 3D solid modeling and hands-on experience on traditional machining and CNC machining.

A parametric, feature-based solid modeling system

Parametric : You can define or modify a feature’s dimension or other attribute at any time. Any changes will automatically propagate through the model. You can relate dimensions in numeric formula.

Feature-based : Create parts and assemblies by defining features like extrusions, sweeps, cuts, holes, slots, etc.

Solid Modeling : Computer model is able to contain all the “information” that a real solid object would have.

ICUME at CBU creates a laboratory environment that reinforces and integrates undergraduate instructions in modern design methods and manufacturing.

Parametric design methodology reduces the time for modification and redesign.

Computer simulations of the manufacturing model and stress/thermal analysis of machined components provide better visualization and understanding of manufacturing processes.
