Course overview
A CNC or Computer Numerical Control is a machine used to produce many things like a car engine cylinder and the gigantic gears of merchant vessels. The Introduction to Computer Numerical Control certification aims to train candidates to operate and program a CNC and develop projects on it. Candidates will learn the full workings of the machine and acquire essential knowledge for operating it.
The Introduction to Computer Numerical Control certification syllabus is based on a practical case study to help candidates develop a CNC project optimally. You will start from a drawing or blueprint, and select the appropriate machine and tools required to execute the project. Tenaris University has created this online course and offers it for free on edX.
Candidates who take part in the Introduction to Computer Numerical Control training will be introduced to the Jaque Mate company project and learn how to produce a chess piece. You will work with simulations and learn how to overcome challenges during the project. This is a short course of one month and is free of cost and can be audited for a limited duration. The students can also pay the course fee to get the certificate and get unlimited access to the programme.
