Copyright: 2021
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.

About the Author(s)

Rick Calverley - is the Director of Education at Lincoln College of Technology in Grand Prairie, Texas, where he designed and implemented Lincoln’s first program in CNC Machining and Manufacturing Technology. As a third-generation machinist, trained mold maker, tool and die maker, and CNC multiaxis programmer, Mr. Calverley has seen this industry go through radical changes. He started his career in 1982, running manual machinery in his father's shop. During his 30+ years of making parts, he has produced parts used to make turbochargers, transmissions, plastic injection molds, aircraft parts, and even parts for the International Space Station. Before joining Lincoln, Mr. Calverley worked as a CNC programmer for several manufacturing firms, including Solidiform, Inc., a defense contractor in the aerospace industry.


Mr. Calverley is also the author of CNC Programmer’s Guide. He holds an AS degree in marine technology from the College of Oceaneering, and has completed additional college-level industry and academic programs. He holds all 12 NIMS Machining Level 1 certifications, as well as three Mastercam Associate Level certifications. Mr. Calverley has served on the national councils for the Fabricators and Manufacturers Association, the Mastercam Educators Alliance, and the Haas Technical Education Community. He also established the first National Tooling and Machining Association student chapter.
