Machining and Manufacturing with CNC

Great Opportunity Begins with CNC Programming

The manufacturing industry supports over 12 million jobs within the American economy1. The United States produces some of the world’s finest high-technology equipment, all of which contain parts created on CNC machine tools. Examples include airliners, surgical instruments, robotic and computer parts, medical implants as well as parts used in educational applications. Where high precision is demanded, CNC manufacturing is the answer.

Machining and Manufacturing Programs at 4 Campuses

East Windsor CT, Grand Prairie TX and Indianapolis IN

Our East Windsor CT, Grand Prairie TX and Indianapolis IN campuses offer the CNC Machining and Manufacturing Technology program. This course body is comprised of 10 course modules totaling 813.5 hours of classroom and hands-on machine shop training. It is available as either a day, afternoon or evening program. This provides convenient options for those students who are currently employed and want to attend school. After mastering the fundamental courses of blueprint reading and precision measurement, the student will learn CNC milling and turning, CAM mill & lathe design and tool path, and finish up with advanced multi-axis machining.

Mahwah NJ

Mahwah is our first campus to offer Advanced Manufacturing with Robotics. Like all of our CNC-related programs, this one begins with the fundamentals of blueprint reading and precision measurement. Then instruction moves on to major core topics such as CNC milling and turning with set-up and programming, and on to CAM mill & lathe design with tool path training. Instruction is then received in both modern milling, drilling and work-holding, and then advanced multi-axis machining. The final piece is truly cutting edge – an introduction to robotics and how they apply to the manufacturing workspace. We use RoboDK for simulation and offline programming of industrial robots.

Learn on Haas Automation Machines

Haas machinery is considered the Industry standard, and the manufacturer continues to refine and develop advancements in machining. Our partnership with Haas Automation means you will train on the same types of machinery used in the most advanced manufacturing facilities. This will also aid you in your preparation to earn credentials from the National Institute for Metalworking Skills (NIMS) in areas such of materials, job safety and planning, as well as machining, milling and turning.

A Career in Machining and Manufacturing Awaits

Upon graduating from our Machining and Manufacturing program, you will have earned the fundamental knowledge and necessary skills to enter the manufacturing sector of US industry. Training programs are conveniently located in the NY/NJ/CT metropolitan area, as well as in the center of the Dallas/Fort Worth metro area. Another excellent location is our Indianapolis campus, which is situated mid-west region within reach of Chicago and Detroit, the automotive manufacturing capital of our country.
