In Perry Tech’s 1-year Precision Machining & Manufacturing program, students study machining theory and machine operations in the classroom then develop those skills with practical, hands-on work in the machine shop using a variety of manual and computer numerically controlled (CNC) machines.
Students study metallurgy, program specific mathematics, blueprint reading, metrology, computer numerical control (CNC) machining and programming, and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) using industry software. These studies can also prepare students for industry certifications.
Additionally, students use fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing to produce a variety of items, including jigs, fixtures, custom prototype parts, and other components. Students work with multiple filament types, such as carbon fiber nylon.
In the fourth, and final, quarter, students can choose to participate in an externship where they have the opportunity gain real-world experience prior to entering the workforce.
Wherever you find strict tolerances in manufacturing production, you will often discover a machinist playing a role in that process. Industries rely on accuracy and creativity, while striving for continuous improvement. Graduates of this program typically find careers in, but not limited to, aerospace, automotive, and technology industries.
