Thanks for reading this issue of CNC WEST.
This is our annual Software issue. Since high school students will hope- fully be working in shops in the future it is only fitting that we have an article about a high school in Oregon that teaches CAD/CAM to their students.
Dan Kernion is the Manufacturing/CTE instructor at the CTE (Career Technical Education) program of Redmond High School, located 144 miles southeast of Portland. For nine years, he has taught students to use CAD/CAM software and CNC machining to prepare them for careers in manufacturing.
Kernion has been using Mastercam® CAD/CAM software since the 1990s, when he honed his skills designing, programming, and making surfboards and guitars. He credits industry partners such as Mastercam for helping Panther Tech maintain and grow its manufacturing program.
Another article regarding software and a shop is about a two-person shop in Oceanside, California. Owner Nick Katrov said, “With our applications requiring full 5-axis strategies, we have successfully utilized most of the 5-axis modules in hyperMILL® such as contouring, tangent milling with barrel cutters, swarf milling and helical drilling” explained Mr. Katrov. “hy- perMILL® makes the programming process seamless and easy no matter how complex the components are”.
American Innovative Products in Anaheim, California is a family-owned business that tries to do all the little things to make the big things happen. With help from Fullerton College, they have a well-trained staff that is get- ting ready for major expansion in Idaho. Soon to have facilities in southern California and Idaho, AIP sees Idaho as a location that will be a great way to cut costs without just moving the entire company.
There is also an article on machining firearm components and one on Securing Your CNC Equipment for CMMC 2.0 Compliance.
This along with our normal allotment of press releases about new products and industry news will give you some good reading material. And please remember that each issue is on our webpage too if you don’t have a maga- zine handy.
Sincerely,
Shawn Arnold
