Choosing the Right CNC for your Classroom

11/3/2016

4 Comments

 
​Whether you are building a Makerspace of Fab Lab, you have undoubtedly considered a CNC Router. CNC technology is a key component of fabrication, but the technology is as diverse as the applications. CNC equipment is designed to route, carve, drill, and engrave in wood, plastic, foam, aluminum and other materials for a wide range of applications.
 
CNC routers, plasma cutters and laser equipment make it easy and exciting for educators to prepare students for the technical manufacturing jobs of tomorrow. Students understand modern manufacturing challenges, turning design concepts into reality on industry standard equipment.
 
Choosing a CNC Router
When choosing a CNC Router, consider the following components:
  • Quality: Economical and Technologically Advanced CNC Control Systems - Techno CNC’s high performance industrial quality CNC equipment enables students to learn on full scale production systems guaranteeing that they are well prepared for real-world applications upon entry into the workforce.
  • Ease of Use: User-friendly, with a short learning curve - Techno CNC’s routers, plasmas cutters and laser equipment make it easy for educators to prepare students for the technical manufacturing jobs of tomorrow. Students can quickly and easily assimilate the new technology and how it can be applied to real world circumstances.
  • Compatibility with available CAD/CAM Software - Open architecture that works with all industry standard software programs is essential. This enables educational institutes the flexibility to integrate their CNC’s throughout a variety of STEM electives and curriculums, such as manufacturing, architectural design, prototying, and pre-engineering.
  • Curriculum: Learning with certified instructors - FANUC’s comprehensive curriculum teaches the critical aspects of CNC machine setup, operation and programming using industry-leading equipment and providing sufficient repetition to ensure effective learning.  Student certification requires passing both an academic and practical skills test to ensure competence. 
  • System Integration - With FANUC’s Certified Education CNC Training program, students will first write, edit and proof programs using 3D solid model animation in NCGuide software running on a PC.  Using a USB memory stick, they then transfer the part program from NCGuide to the CNC on the machine either in the classroom and/or a workshop and then perform setup and testing.
  • Resources: Tools and Resources make the difference – From live training, webinars, guides, and back-end support, it is important to choose a provider that will ensure you are successful in your classroom.
 
At Moss, we represent Techno CNC Systems, FANUC, and ez Router – we can provide options based on your program goals and budget considerations. Let us help  you develop your FabLab or Makerspace.
 
Tell us – what is the single biggest consideration you have when looking at CNC Routers?

I am a middle school teacher who teaches robotics, coding, and 3D modeling and design. I am moving out of a classroom and into an old wood shop. I was asked what new tools or machines I would possibly need in the next couple of years. I was told by our high school engineering teachers to ask for the stars and hopefully get the moon. They talked about getting a laser cutter and a CNC router if that was an option. I have been looking online and trying to get ideas about what would be appropriate for a middle school setting. Particularly 7th and 8th grade.

You made a good point when you shared that it is great to get a CNC machine that has good compatibility with available CAD/CAM Software. This will ensure that educators can make the learning process easier for the students. I would like to think if someone is planning to teach on how to use CNC machine, he should consider getting the right machine from a reliable supplier.

It really helped when you said that CNC machining will make the process easier and more exciting as well when it comes to technical manufacturing jobs. I guess looking for a supplier to provide you with this kind of equipment is a worth it investment for your courses or even for your business needs. And I think the machine has to be the right type and setting depending on where you will use it for, so the owner has to communicate with the manufacturer well.
