Intended Audience • Manufacturing engineers

• CAD/CAM managers

• Multi-axis NC/CNC programmers

• Users of 3, 4 and 5-axis machines for milling complex prismatic andcontour type parts are encouraged to attend

Prerequisite

Required courses:

• NX Manufacturing Fundamentals

The Fixed-axis and Multi-axis Milling course is designed for NC/CNC programmers who machine simple or complex parts with fixed and variable tool capabilities. Students will learn how to create fixed and variable axis tool paths. You will also be introduced to NX workflows for machining contoured parts, high-speed machining methods, milling holes and threads, milling turbine blade type parts, and on machine probing.

Or: Successful completion of the Manufacturing Fundamentals Advisor in Learning Advantage (score >70%). Learning Advantage courses can also be used to prepare for the prerequisite assessment.

Other Recommendation: Should have a thorough understanding of NC/CNC programming principles and of manual 3-, 4-, and 5-axis NC/CNC programming methods and procedures.
