The Production and Industrial Engineering Department, Punjab Engineering College (Deemed to be University), organised a three day workshop on CNC Machining and Advanced Programming funded by TEQIP-III from 21st-23rd August 2019. The workshop was coordinated by Prof. N.M. Suri, Prof. R.S. Walia and Prof. Rahul O. Vaishya with their sincere efforts and hard work.
The workshop comprised of theoretical and practical sessions on daily basis. Expert Lectures were given by Mr. Pawan Kumar, Director IETR (Industrial Engineering and Tool Room). The workshop included lectures as well as hands on practice on various CAD/CAM models using solid work as a designing, drafting, modelling, simulation, prediction for controlling and programming tool path. The workshop was beneficial for faculty members, engineers and research scholars working in the fields of manufacturing, design and machining science.
In this workshop, students used Solid Works as the learning platform in which they were taught about the various aspects of modelling as well as how to program the CAD model. Those CAD models with the help of Solid CAM were used to generate programmes which were feeded to the CNC machine. The students also generated some physical models on the machine. Mr. Pawan Kumar gave the knowledge about the controller and the user interface of the machine.
