Computer Numeric Control Operator/Programmer I Certificate also referred to as CNC 1 is a continuation of the skills learned in the Machinist I Certificate. In this certificate the machinist student is taught computer numeric control (CNC) programming and operational skills to successfully operate/program 3 axis machining and 2 axis turning centers. These are the same basic type of machines (lathe, mill and drill) as in the manual program except they are more precise, faster, student programed, and computer controlled. The student in this certificate is taught the industry standard in design and programming through CAD/CAM (computer aided design / computer aided manufacturing) software.This is the next step, the next set of skills to move into the machine tool technology and manufacturing career and it stacks (builds) onto the next machining certificate to eventually yield the student if desired the AAS degree in Machining Technology.
