Ten students entered the CNC Operator Bootcamp on May 22 with the training designed to run for nine weeks, ending on July 20. Topics for the program include: introduction to manufacturing, safety, blue print reading, precision measurement and machine operations.

Family Night Success

‌

The AMMC was excited to entertain a variety of families during the first Family Night at AMMC on May 9. Attendees learned about what the AMMC has to offer to a wide range of learners, at all life stages, including children's opportunities with the upcoming Youth Robotics camp.

AMMC Begins First Youth Creation Station Camp

AMMC is hosting its first Youth Creation Station camp now through June 16. Students are learning how to create programs and items for printing in our Tinkercad software. Once their projects are complete, students are able to print their items on site and take home their own souvenir to remember!

Equipment Spotlight

The Haas TL-1 Lathe

We have seven Haas TL-1 Lathes in our CNC Lab. These machines will allow students to run programs that they have written using CAD/CAM software. The TL-1 can machine small or large parts. Students will be allowed to create complex features quicker and more easily than a manual lathe.
