hi all!,

new to this place and happy to be part of it! my interest in cnc machines particularly in milling/routers had started when i bought the "heavy mill" flat bed router from 3dtek in sydney. from assembly to cad/cam and learning the basic machining principal's as well as gcode i have taught myself the basics. i am now looking at further studies in this field or an apprenticeship. the problem is i have no idea how to get started. it doesnt seem such a popular choice of study/job. is this because this technology is fairly new for australia? as i no the USA have alot of courses in computer aided manufacturing. just seeing what your opinions are and if australia has any courses or what is the beat way to get started in cnc cad/cam machining. thanks, Ryan

Ask at the local Tech Colleges. Many are in that area.

Cheers

I would imagine this falls under mechanical engineering? I know an engineer probably 4 to 5 years out of uni now and he uses a lot of cad / cam in his work and projects. Worth contacting local TAFEs to see what they can offer, check course guides online.

You can go to your nearest TAFE campus and seek out the course information counter, where they should be able to advise you on availablity.

Hi Ryan,

Feel free to contact me, what software are you using for programming your parts? I can provide training one on one or via teamviewer for popular programs. I have been training, installing, servicing & repairing CNC Router's here in Australia for many years.

Cheers Ryan

Hello,
Anyone fron Sydney who can provide training on Cnc set up and operation?
Regards, Muktadir.

Hello Mukatadir - I run training when I sell a machine, usually a couple of days. I'm in Murwillumbah, Northern NSW. But if your running your machine and know the basics just create a question list and the forum will answer. For CAD I use Fusion, Rhino3D and Alibre. For CAM I use Fusion and for machine control I use UCCNC and Knighthawk. If you have any questions about these I'm happy to answer or create a video... Peter

Hi Muktadir

I suspect that before anyone would think about volunteering, they would want a LOT more details.
What sort of CNC
What sort of electronics
What sort of software
What sort of PC and OS
What state the CNC is in
What background knowledge do you have
Where are you
Are you willing to travel to the training
And, of course, how much?

Cheers
Roger
