The Cumberland Business Incubator (CBI) at Roane State’s campus in Crossville will host a free bootcamp this month focused on training participants to use Fusion CAD software and 4-axis CNC machines.
The bootcamp is scheduled for June 24-28, 2024, from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. CT daily. Registration information is available online at roanestate.edu/ace. A limited number of spots are still available. Interested participants can call the CBI at (931) 456-4910 or email questions to cbi@roanestate.edu.
CNC, or computer numerical control, machining is a manufacturing process utilizing computer software to guide the movement of the machine and tools. The bootcamp held at the CBI is sponsored by America’s Cutting Edge (ACE), a national initiative to restore the prominence of the U.S. machine tools sector.
No prior experience is required, but participants will need to complete a 6-hour prerequisite online course prior to their bootcamp. Access to the virtual training will be granted as part of registration.
Roane State’s Cumberland Business Incubator plans to offer an additional ACE Bootcamp later this summer. Available courses and events are listed on the CBI calendar at cbimakerspace.com.
