Course Overview

This course introduces learners to the principle and practice of 5 axis CNC machining using an offline CAM package such as Mastercam. This course is designed as a progression pathway from the Introduction to CNC Programming and Machine Operations course.

During this course you will look at:

  • CNC machine tool setting
  • Use tool probing system on CNC milling machine
  • Use fixture probe to set datums
  • Surface rough and surface finishing CAM programming (3d machining)
  • Programming on multiple construction planes (5 axis 3 + 2)
  • Full component simulation (CAM system)
  • Manufacture parts on 5 axis CNC mills

Ideal If:

You have completed the Introduction to CNC Programming and Machine Operations course and are interested in learning about 5 axis CNC machining.

This course would also be of interest and provide an excellent upskilling opportunity to learners currently programming CNC machines in industry.

You'll Learn:

How to programme, set up and operate CNC milling machines in 5 axis to produce parts.

You'll Love:
The mix of theory and hands on practical time utilising industry standard CNC machines. The course is delivered in a relaxed atmosphere under the tuition of expertly trained staff.

You'll Progress:
There are wide range of manufacturing and engineering programmes available. Subject to meeting entry requirements.

You'll Need:

To have completed the Introduction to CNC Programming and Machine Operations course OR be actively involved in CNC machine programming in industry.

Complete an informal interview prior to enrolment.
