What will I learn?

PCC’s Automated Precision Manufacturing (Machining) program prepares you to enter the manufacturing world by utilizing the latest technology and metalworking skills. You will build a strong foundation in machining by learning to use hand tools, manual machines and grinding tools and developing introductory-level skills in print reading. You’ll also learn how to use CAD CAM software to create two-dimensional drawings and gain experience with computer-aided manufacturer software. Learning G&M code for manual Computer Numerical Control (CNC) programming is a focus, as well as setup and operations of CNC equipment.

The AAS degree offers you training in advanced manufacturing using both manual and computer-controlled machines. You will use CAD CAM software to create three-dimensional drawings, solids and surfaces and then utilize geometry to create parts, which are inspected for industry-standard accuracy with top-of-the-line metrology equipment.

If you are completing the AAS degree or currently working in the field, CAD CAM certification and National Institute for Metalworking Skills (NIMS) credentials may be available.
