CNC Programmer (Apprenticeship)
About the Program
This single level, 240-hour program, is designed to provide the apprentice with the "in-school" theoretical and practical training in CNC programming.
Program Objectives
- Demonstrate CAD system management.
- Describe operating principles and applications of NC/CNC machine tools.
- Create basic geometric entities including lines, circles, squares and angles.
- Create complex geometry including primitives (cones, cylinders, prisms, torus) wire frame surfaces, sculptured surfaces and solids.
- Create 3D programs from surfaces and solids.
- Translate and convert drawings to various drawing file formats (i.e. DXF, IGES) output and plot the drawing.
- Describe part programming methods, set-up sheets, tooling lists, part program manuscripts and input media.
- Prepare a plan for NC/CNC programming.
- Develop, write and enter programs for NC/CNC machine systems to take advantage of the machine's cutter radius compensation features.
- Generate geometry to produce cutter paths for NC/CNC machining centres and NC/CNC lathes.
- Develop and customize a post processor for a specific NC/CNC machine tool.
