In the Computer Integrated Machining program, you build a strong foundation in modern machining processes and technology. You will learn how to:
Read and interpret blueprints - Understand technical drawings, measurements, symbols, and tolerances used in manufacturing.
Operate CNC machines - Learn how to safely set up and run computer numerical control (CNC) milling and turning machines.
Write and edit CNC programs - Use G-code and machining software to control machine movement and production processes.
Apply precision measurement techniques - Use micrometers, calipers, and gauges to inspect parts and ensure accuracy.
Follow shop safety standards - Practice proper safety procedures to protect yourself and others in a machining environment.
Understand manufacturing materials - Learn how different metals and materials react during machining and production.
