Abstract
Current manufacturing standards expect excellence in part utilization and timely delivery on production. The processes in which parts are manufactured play a pivotal roll in the potential success or failure of a business.
The software industry and the manufacturing sector have combined over the years to create a process of joining machining and computers. This alliance of two worlds enables the machinist to create a part with reduced scrap and low costs.
This research examined multiple programs in order to map out the best process in which to use to illustrate the manufacturing processes that are currently used in today's industries. By creating samples that define various needs we are able to create learning objectives that may act as teaching aids in the collegiate classroom. Continuous trial and error tests lead us to the best process with the available resources.
Although, other research options are available to further understand the abilities of the machines and the software's capabilities. More complex parts and different materials may be explored to distinguish a more realistic base for educational learning objectives.
