Participants will attain a fundamental understanding of set-up, operation, and programming procedures of computer numerically controlled (CNC) machines. This program is designed to move trainees from basic understanding to confident setup and operation with an emphasis on real machine operation (not simulation-only), setup, offsets, and part production, programming understanding and edits, and troubleshooting and process control.
Prerequisite: Machine Shop I & II or test out at M-TEC.
