This
training program has been tailored to help CNC milling and
turning machine operators or machinists develop confidence and
new programming skills they can apply at the controller to
modify existing NC code for jobs they are running or create
new programs from scratch.

Application project
This is a boot camp program tailored as
basic training for machinists and CNC operators who need to
build a strong foundation of skills in shop mathematics,
blueprint reading, job planning, machine tool setup, and NC
programming code for MDI, and an introduction into CADCAM
programming using MasterCAM. This is a challenging hands-on
training program for manufacturing people who are serious
about upgrading and strengthening their skills to be more
independent and able to setup and operate the CNC equipment
their companies have or may be acquiring to meet the
increasing demands of their customers. This is an excellent
training program for employees who need to build the basic
skills to advance into CAD/CAM programming.
Training will be at the PDC's new state-of-the-art CAD/CAM
lab in Montrose. The CNC lab is equipped with a HAAS MiniMill
and SL-10 lathe, both fully tooled and ready. The CAD lab is
loaded with the latest versions of Mastercam® and SolidWorks®.
Participants will attend four hours per week for 20 weeks for a
total of 80 hours of hands-on training. Students also will be
invited to take advantage of additional lab training on
Saturdays to get familiar with the CNC machines and run jobs
from their work. Enrollment is limited.

Did you know?
"CIMdata views Mastercam® as the de facto industry standard
PC-based CAM software product. It is a well-known, competitively
priced, general-purpose software that provides a broad base of
modeling and NC software capability. It is appropriate for most
machining environments, from production machining operations
within manufacturing firms to machining relatively complex
surfaces within mold shops. It is particularly well suited to
job shops that have a wide range of machining requirements".

and Production, June, 2001)
