Our Precision Machining students are learning to write a code for creating machined parts using our HAAS control simulators. They are given a blue print of the part and then they use math to figure how much material needs to be removed and then program the code into the Haas controller. We also have other students learning to create parts on our metal lathes. We are excited to learn that we are getting four new metal lathes. Thanks to Dr. Shane Barnette and TJ Franey for writing and acquiring grants for our new lathes. It's a great day for CATA! #wecreate
