Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around identifying universities and postgraduate programs that focus on learning to build CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines. Participants explore educational options and resources related to this topic.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant suggests that many undergraduate Mechanical Engineering (ME) programs could offer relevant courses and inquires about local universities and their upper division courses.
  • Another participant expresses a desire for universities in the USA or UK that specifically offer programs on building CNC machines.
  • Some participants propose that university education may not be necessary to learn about CNC machines, referencing a wiki article that discusses DIY CNC setups.
  • A participant mentions prior knowledge of mini CNC milling machines and seeks information on postgraduate courses that teach how to build professional-grade CNC machines like those from Haas or Mori Seiki.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on whether university education is essential for learning about CNC machines, and multiple viewpoints regarding the necessity and availability of specific programs remain present.

Contextual Notes

Participants express varying levels of familiarity with CNC technology and educational resources, indicating a range of assumptions about the depth and type of training required.

It seems like just about any undergraduate ME program would be able to offer that. What schools are near you? Have you looked at their undergraduate (upper division) courses? There will be some ME labs -- you will be looking at the more advanced lab courses to see what they cover in the way of CNC.

I am seeking university in USA or UK that offers a program on how to build a CNC machine.

I'm not even sure you need to go to a university to learn that subject. This wiki article has a pretty good background on CNC, and discusses the current status:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNC_machine

Check out the final paragraphs where they are discussing do-it-yourself CNC setups that are PC based.

Yes I already know about mini CNC milling machine before such as Sherline, Syil, etc. But I want to know whether there are available any postgraduate course/program that taught how to built a professional CNC machine such as Haas, Mori Seiki, etc.
