CNC OPERATIONS FOR WOOD TECHNOLOGY

CNC operations course in wood technology focuses on teaching the use of CNC machinery for precision woodworking, covering areas like CNC machine types (routers, mills, lathes), programming basics using G-code, and working with CAD/CAM software. It includes safety protocols, material preparation, machine setup, and advanced techniques such as 3D carving, engraving, and multi-axis machining. Students learn to configure CNC machines, select appropriate tools, and troubleshoot issues to ensure high-quality finishes. Practical projects emphasize hands-on experience in designing and producing wood products, with a focus on sustainable practices, automation, and emerging technologies in woodworking.
