Explore Computer Numeric Control (CNC) Routers and how they are used in the secondary manufacturing industry. Learners will attain a fundamental understanding of Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) and Computer Aided Machining (CAM) software as well as machine operation. Learners will also get a basic overview of the types of tooling used with CNC routers.

Apply advanced CNC router techniques, such as work holding techniques, tool parameters, material selection, and explore specialty machining applications. Learners will see how CNC manufactured parts are incorporated into greater assemblies and larger projects.

Develop a custom furniture project that builds on skills gained in previous courses. Learners will be introduced to advanced design principles to generate a sketch and cut list for their piece. Advanced joinery, fixturing, and woodworking tool operation will also be covered in this course.
