My quest for CNC training

Submitted by Kip Steele on Tue, 05/29/2012 - 1:24pm

Ever since joining makehaven I've become obsesseed with additive manufacturing and 5 axis CNC. While using the RepRap and using all of the software associated with it has been a blast, the chance to get access to a 5 axis machine is really limited. So I began my quest for CNC.

Being from Stratford aka Helicopter City USA, I figured that there would be abundant training in the area. FAR FROM IT! In fact, CNC is in such demand, that there are over 100+ jobs in the immediate area posted on Indeed.com's site. So I've decided to take the following 2 paths to get my training:

1. Traditional
