NC Milling I teaches students the techniques involved in the creation of NC Operations using up to 3-axis milling machines. This hands-on course contains extensive practice exercises to provide you with real-world experience in creating NC manufacturing models. This course takes you from the initial steps of setting up the manufacturing environment to the end goal of producing G-code.
