STCC offers training opportunities for advanced manufacturing employees
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – Springfield Technical Community College’s Workforce Development Center will offer two intensive three-day courses to help workers in advanced manufacturing learn new skills.
A CMM training course, which starts Aug. 9, covers everything you need to know to inspect your first part on a Ziess CMM.
A second course, 5 Axis CNC Mill Training, starts Aug. 16 and covers everything you need to know to make your first part on a five axis CNC mill.
Participants in both courses will come to STCC for three days of training in the college’s state-of-the-art CMM lab.
For those taking the CMM training, the lab houses 5 Zeiss Duramax CMMs equipped with probe changers, star probes, and Calypso software. A full complement of precision hand gauges and tools for inspecting Geometric Dimensions and Tolerances are available to validate CMM results.
For those in the 5 Axis CNC Mill Training course, the lab houses 16 Haas CNC machines, including 2 and 4 axis lathes, plus 3, 4, and 5 axis mills. The lab is set up specifically for CNC training; everything from CAD, CAM, to finished part, to inspection is all in one facility.
