Metro College of Technology has helped students launch successful technical careers for over 25 years. Real factory environment training, our CNC and Mastercam Technology Diploma prepare graduates with industry-relevant software, machining knowledge, and practical experience needed for careers.
Become a CNC and Mastercam Technology programmer
The CNC and MasterCAM Technology Diploma develops the practical knowledge and technical skills needed for careers in modern CNC manufacturing. Students learn CNC programming, Mastercam, CAD/CAM technology, precision machining and manufacturing processes through career-focused, hands-on training. Students also develop skills using AutoCAD, SolidWorks and Autodesk Inventor, enabling them to create 2D drawings and 3D models as part of the manufacturing workflow. Combined with CNC and Mastercam training, these skills help students understand the process from digital design and CNC programming to machining and precision inspection.
After successfully completing the program, graduates receive a diploma and can apply their CNC programming, CAD/CAM and machining skills in manufacturing environments. The training can prepare graduates for CNC Setup Technician, CNC Programmer, Precision Machinist and Manufacturing Technician.
Why Choose a Career in CNC and MasterCAM Technology?
Modern manufacturing uses CNC machines and CAD/CAM software to produce precise components. CNC and CAD/CAM skills can be applied in industries such as automotive, industrial equipment, robotics, medical-device manufacturing and precision machining. The program also introduces AI-assisted manufacturing and smart manufacturing technologies, helping students understand how manufacturing technology continues. Careers advantage with:
