CNC Manufacturing Technology helps students develop the skills needed for success in today’s advanced manufacturing industry. Designed for the beginning learner, this text is a comprehensive and contemporary resource for students pursuing a career in the CNC machining trade. Early foundational chapters provide an overview of machining technology, career opportunities, shop safety, and math skills. Subsequent chapters help develop print reading skills and explain the use of measuring instruments. After fundamental concepts are introduced, the text progresses to core topics and more advanced topics. Detailed coverage is provided on CNC machine configurations, cutting tools, CNC mill and lathe programming, and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM). Advanced chapters feature coverage on multiaxis programming, subprogramming, probing and probe programming, automated manufacturing, and additive manufacturing.
