The CNC training program prepares our graduates for a career within Canada’s growing industrial community. Upon the successful completion of the CNC training program graduates will understand and be able to apply Computerized Numerical Control technology (CNC) from the introduction of CNC programming to advanced applications. As well, graduates will be able to develop CNC programs for a variety of machines, such as drills, mills, machining centers and lathes, using verifiable manual and computerized methods. The focus of the program is on practical industrial applications and problem solving using a professional approach.
The course offers a review of the following topics:
● Introduction to CNC programming
● CNC Specification for Lathe Operations
● CNC Specification for Milling Operations
● CNC Setup Time Reduction
● CNC Cycle Time Reduction
● Programming with M-code in CNC machine
● Programming with G-code in CNC machine

● Advanced CNC Techniques, Setups and Operations
● 2-D Geometry Construction
● 2-D Geometry Creation & Toolpaths
● 3-D Toolpath Generation
● 3-D Wireframe Generation
● 3-D Surface Creation
Registration is open to anyone 18 years of age or older. This course is recommended for persons with related experience.
CNC Machinists develop computer applications for machines and process, diagnose problems relating to CNC Machining and design programs for CNC machines. CNC Machinists set up and operate a variety of machine tools to cut metal, plastic or other materials to create or modify parts and products with precise dimensions. Machining and tooling inspectors inspect the parts, products and tooling produced from machines to maintain quality control standards. They are employed by machinery, equipment, motor vehicle, automotive parts, aircraft and other metal products manufacturing companies and by machine shops. (click here to see details)
