Machine Structure Course
This course teaches machine tool structure, covering frame stiffness, kinematic chains, error modelling, structural and modal analysis, and design improvements for better accuracy, rigidity, and reliability in engineering applications. Students learn to apply these concepts practically for robust CNC machines.

What will I learn?
Gain practical skills to model and enhance CNC machine stiffness, accuracy, and reliability. Master reference frames, kinematic chains, structural analysis, modal analysis, and error sources like backlash, thermal drift, and compliance. Use schematics, quantitative assessments, and tests to build and document high-performance machines.

Your classes are perfect. I got the one-year package and finally have the chance to follow several topics I'm interested in without having to switch platforms... I appreciate everything you do, I've already recommended you to others...
