Subject: Manufacturing / Metals
Grade Level: 9-14
- CNC Manufacturing Technology helps to prepare learners for entry-level CNC technician positions in today’s advanced manufacturing industry. Early foundational chapters create an awareness of career opportunities, stress the importance of shop safety, and show how math is used in machining. Subsequent chapters develop a broad base of knowledge of basic machining skills such as print reading and the use of measuring instruments. The author employs a building-block approach to present in-depth coverage of CNC equipment, cutting tools and inserts, CNC mill and CNC lathe programming, CAM, multiaxis programming, and additional advanced topics. Extensive use of artwork, photographs, and code examples help students to visualize CNC programming and equipment operation. The Lab Workbook includes lab activities for hands-on learning and study guide questions to help learners gain required knowledge.
