Hands-On CNC Learning

Our facility includes multiple training machines. These are small-scale, real Thermwood CNC machines used to learn programming in a physical environment. While sized for the classroom, they are fully functional, allowing students to gain practical, real-world experience. Students can also explore the powerful Cut Ready software, which provides a "No Programming" interface for simplified yet powerful machine control.
