CNC Programmer

What is a CNC Programmer?

CNC Programmers develop programs to control machining or processing of metal or plastic parts by automatic machine tools, equipment, or systems. Students in the AJAC CNC Programmer Apprenticeship will learn to use CAD and CAM fundamentals to design for manufacturability (develop tooling).

Students will gain a thorough understanding of the underlying manufacturing processes that are essential to developing a part program; they will know how to build a part and will understand the role of the CNC Programmer in a team and an organization.

CNC Programmers:

• Establish manufacturing process for machining

• Develop tooling

• Create CNC code

• Verify Numeric Code in a software platform

• Develop set-up documentation utilizing various methods

• Manage manufacturing data
