Qualification -
Unit of Competency MEM09023A - Create 3D code files using computer aided manufacturing system
Description This unit covers producing 3D CAM code files, managing files, managing tools and associated customisation of installed software including the use of macros, menus and default settings
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit typically applies in a manufacturing setting where components are machined or processed within a CAM environment. Code files would be produced from existing CAD models or from data collected by sample measurement.If 2D drawings or 3D CAD models are produced, Unit MEM09009C (Create 2D drawings using computer aided design system) and Unit MEM09010C (Create 3D models using computer aided design system) should also be selected as required.Where components are machined following development of code files, appropriate CNC machining units should also be selected.Band: BUnit Weight: 6
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to create 3D code files using computer aided manufacturing system. Competency in this unit cannot be claimed until all prerequisites have been satisfied.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria, including required knowledge, and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both on and off the job. Where assessment occurs off the job, that is the candidate is not in productive work, then an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations. The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team. The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate.

This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety, quality, communication, materials handling, recording and reporting associated with creating 3D code files or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit.

Method of assessment

Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid, sufficient, current and authentic. Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways including direct observation, supervisor's reports, project work, samples and questioning. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency. The candidate must have access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required. The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials.

Guidance information for assessment

Submission Requirements

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Required skills

Look for evidence that confirms skills in:

interpreting job instructions, specifications in accordance with workplace procedures

manipulating entities in 3D space

producing code files

creating manufacturing data for various operations and processes

importing CAD files

saving and managing CAM files

Required knowledge

Look for evidence that confirms knowledge of:

coordinate systems

orientation of the model with respect to the coordinate system

procedures for customising system defaults

procedures for customising user interface

entities that can be manipulated in 3D space

procedures for manipulating entities in 3D space

procedure for using the post processor

procedures for saving CAM files

CAD file conversions

CAM file formats

procedures to save and store CAM files

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Entities

Arcs and lines and primitives such as spheres, surfaces or solids, cones, cylinders and boxes

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
