Thanks! I have manhy years experience with CAD systems, mechanical and PWB, and a few years with 3D modeling. I just completed a generic write-g-code-from-scratch class which I thought was very good. I have a bit of CNC time at the CC and the university.
I want to learn about micro-machining as well as metrology (but I can't include it in my grad school POS) and would be interested if you know of any good handbooks on the subject. I am interested in work-holding methods for machining and inspecting micro-parts. Fixture design was one of my favorite classes in my mfg eng program. Designing and making tiny fixtures sounds like an interesting challenge.
I agree with you that CCs feel like an extension of HS trade schools, but I wish one of them had a decent range of metrology equipment and courses in the subject in the Phx, AZ area! The CCs out here charge $71/hr, the university charges $718/hr. Having to use grad school for vocational training really sucks!
Thanks again!
