Rolling registration for this class series.  Please contact Brad Hess to register.

This in-depth class series for the Tormach will follow the "Titans of CNC" curriculum to teach CAD, CAM and machining.  

This will be the first of two series.  For series 1, we will be making the first 5 parts.  For series 2, we will make the last 5 more complex parts.  To take series 2 you have to take series 1 first.

The student will take home 5 cool parts they designed and machined and be strong in CAD, CAM and CNC machining. 

After completing this course, students will have full Tormach sign-off and be authorized to use the Tormach independently.

This course will run 6-12 weeks depending upon the time you put in at home.  A fair amount of the work is self-paced and online using the videos and materials found at https://academy.titansofcnc.com/category/mill-building-blocks, with guidance from the group and hands-on, instructor-led sessions using the Tormach.

This class will have 2-3 hrs per week of “homework,” but will be self-paced.  Ideally we would like to keep everyone within 1-2 projects so that we can share knowledge.

Class Meetings:
    • Intro class to kick off the class and introduce everyone
    • Stock prep, machine usage and working session
    • Twice a month classroom working sessions thereafter.   Time TBD by class members.
    • Hands-on Tormach sessions with instructor, by “appointment” or group planning session
      • 1-2 times a week with 2-3 people per session.
      • Each part takes 1-2 hrs of machine time to setup and run. 

    The cost for this class series will be $200 which would cover materials, tooling,  and expendables.

    A private slack channel will be set up for the class so we can support each other and for planning purposes.

    No prerequisites required.
