Computer Numerical Control Machining Ontario College Certificate
ObjectivesThis 352 hour program will cover CNC programming through different methods of CNC code generating. The course is designed to teach manual (G code) programming techniques, equivalent to CNC Intermediate as well as EdgeCAM, an intelligent CAM (Computer Aided Machining) program capable of utilizing Solid Modeling. The emphasis of this course is to create a proficient CNC programmer, whether the programming is being done at a computer by means of software or directly at the machine. This program also gives the student experience setting up and operating various CNC machinery including Machining Centers and Turning Centers.
