What You'll Learn

Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populated·from NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: developing (Level 2)(based on Certification)

Machining operation sequences — plan and arrange independently for moderately complex workpieces using job orders and standard templates.
Cutting tool selection — evaluate and choose appropriate tooling for common materials by applying learned speed-and-feed tables without supervisor input.
Blueprint and specification analysis — interpret angular dimensions, radii, and tolerances from multi-view drawings to calculate CNC input values.
CNC part programs — write and format complete programs in G-code for routine two-axis operations on familiar controller platforms.
CAM software tool paths — generate and verify tool paths for standard prismatic parts using CAM software with limited guidance.
Program errors — identify, correct, and retest revised code to resolve dimensional or motion faults on the production floor.
Machine trial runs — conduct and evaluate test cuts, comparing output dimensions to specifications and adjusting offsets as needed.
Existing CNC programs — modify feed rates, depth of cut, and redundant moves to improve cycle efficiency on repeat jobs.
Part patterns and graphic displays — enter commands to store, retrieve, and transfer program data between controller and shop network.
Production quality checks — apply systematic inspection routines and document first-article results against engineering specifications.
