![]() ![]() It’s certainly a much better machine then the Tormach, and there’s something to be said for teaching your students using one of the most common machines used in industry. Here’s the spec sheet for the Mini Mill EDU. Robert Greene at Kennedy High has been a big inspiration for us and what we do… his program has engineering students using 5 Haas machines. Third year students learn more CAD/CAM and how to use the HAAS machines and their control system (that’s the plan at least). Second year students begin to learn more CAM and machining processes with Mill and Lathe. Our new curriculum has all intro students learning CAD and then CAM on the Shopbot (plus some fun laser cutting/engraving with wood). ![]() We have taught MasterCAM for 5 years but switched over to the Inventor/HSM package last year. We had been using a couple of retrofit CNC’s from CNCMasters for the past 7 years. ![]() We also use our ShopBot 4x8 router quite heavily. We finally had the budget this year to get a Haas TM-2P, Mini-Mill, and a TL-1… and love them. We are still in the midst of revamping our Engineering Technology program at our school, but teaching CAM and CNC’ing is definitely one of our objectives.Īs Gdeaver said “Dream it, design it, cad it, cam it, make it” is our philosophy as well. ![]()
