Course Description

FrameCAD Workshop 3 is a project-based continuation of FrameCAD Workshop 2 that develops advanced level production skills needed to produce steel panel framing systems using FrameCAD software and a FrameCAD F325iT machine. Students will review FrameCAD machine operation and safety and be involved in coordinating production jobs, panel assembly, and fabrication workflow on the machine. NOT DEGREE APPLICABLE. Not Transferable. ADVISORY: ARCH A004N, ARCH A041N and ARCH A042N.

Course Level Student Learning Outcome(s)

1. Completers will demonstrate advanced level skills in producing steel frame panel projects on a FrameCAD machine in a safe maner and with minimal assistance.
2. Completers will be able to perform advanced level maintenance duties on the machine with minimal assistance.

Course Objectives

• 1. Apply advanced level of understanding of steel frame and panelization design and production.
• 2. Operate a FrameCAD machine and produce a structure using FrameCAD Factory software at an experienced level.
• 3. Modify a file in FrameCAD Structure and FrameCAD Detailer.
• 4. Design and produce a stick design and connection on the FrameCAD machine.
• 5. Redesign and recode a project in FrameCAD Detailer and export to FrameCAD Factory for production.
• 6. Perform advanced level of machine operation and maintenance on a FrameCAD machine and decoiler.
• 7. Safely produce a FrameCAD project, assemble the frames, and connect the panels and prepare the project for site delivery.
• 8. Safely use the hoist to assist in loading steel coil and thread coil into machine.

Reading Assignments

FrameCAD Machine manuals will be provided for review and study.

Writing Assignments

Students will prepare a project notebook with project data, budget, and supplier information.

Out-of-class Assignments

Students will research industry practices and target a potential future workplace. Students will collect material data sheets for safety and machine compatibility and add to Worksite Log. Students will be assigned to source supplies and cost out to create a budget. Students will be assigned to verify vendor data and ordering procedures. Outside reading, research, and assignments will take approximately 4 hours per week.

Demonstration of Critical Thinking

Students will analyze proejcts and coordinate and organize workflow. Advanced students will assist in training beginning and intermediate students.

Required Writing, Problem Solving, Skills Demonstration

Students will assess and solve inconsistencies and workflow issues. Students will demonstrate the ability to run jobs and operate the machine safely. Students will assist beginning and intermediate students. Students will document the project in a notebook that can be used for job interviews and for reference.
