Computer Numerical Control Programmer (CNC Programmer)
The Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Programmer program prepares students to create precise machining instructions using engineering drawings and CAD/CAM software such as Mastercam. Students learn to develop 3D models, generate toolpaths, and determine cutting speeds and tooling requirements for CNC machining. The program also covers manual CNC code writing, enabling students to produce and optimize programs for advanced manufacturing equipment.

Computer Numerical Control Programmer (CNC Programmer), O.S.A.
Computer Numerical Control Programmers use engineered drawings and computer software to accurately create a three-dimensional model of the machine part. The 3D model is created in software such as Mastercam. CNC programmers create tool paths, program cut speeds, and program different types of tooling needed to cut out the part. Once all steps have been followed, the CNC programmer saves the completed file for use on CNC equipment. CNC programmers can also write the CNC code manually, line by line.
