Objective |
|
This course provides students with the skills and knowledge to fabricate precision engineering components using conventional machines, CNC machines and supporting tools. This course also provides training in one of the 2 specialisations - Machining and Tool & Mould.
- Machining
This specialisation provides students with the skills and knowledge to interpret blueprints, machine components using centre lathes, milling machines, precision grinders, CNC lathes and CNC milling machines as well as to prepare NC machining program using a CAD/CAM system.
- Tool & Mould
This specialisation provides students with the skills and knowledge to interpret blueprints, make and repair plastic injection moulds and press tools using toolroom machines, CNC machines and supporting tools.
