Description Machining and CNC Technology, Third Edition, by Michael Fitzpatrick, will provide the latest approach to machine tool technology available. Students will learn basic modern integrated manufacturing, CNC systems, CAD/CAM and advanced technologies, and how to safely set up and run both CNC and manually operated machines. This is a how-to-do-it text.
Features
New Chapters on Mastercam and SolidWorks
Access to Mastercam Version X6 and SolidWorks A free demo version of Mastercam Version X6 is available on the Student DVD that is packaged with this textbook. And for the first time, instructors who adopt the third edition of Machining and CNC Technology will receive access to a code that will allow them and their students to download a free 60-day trial of SolidWorks version 2012–13! This version gives students the ability to create parts, assemblies, and drawings within the SolidWorks program. The code will be housed on the password-protected Instructor’s Side of the Online Learning Center for Machining (www.mhhe.com/fitzpatrick3e).
An index to help you map this book to any national machining standard We have recognized the growing importance of machining standards across the industry, and we have created a detailed index of all the critical subjects that can be found within this textbook. The full index can be found on the Online Learning Center at www.mhhe.com/fitzpatrick3e, and the three-digit codes will help you cross-reference the index with the material in the book.
Made Right Here Profiles Fourteen unique manufacturing companies provided images and text to be included as profiles for the opening section of select chapters. These “Made Right Here” profiles will help students recognize that they made a great career choice and that they have many opportunities available in the industry.
Two new interactive chapter features There have been many advances in mobile technology since the last edition, and this new textbook incorporates many of them. Students can now use their mobile devices to view interesting websites, videos, and articles when they scan the special codes at the back of the book. Think of these Xcursions as a virtual field trip of material that will enhance their understanding of the text. In addition, students can quiz themselves on the vocabulary of each chapter using their mobile devices. Just scan the special code at the end of the chapter to access the Terms Toolbox Challenge.
