“The ACE CNC machinist program is a critical step for growing the manufacturing ecosystem for Treasure Coast and Okeechobee communities. manufacturing sector is growing at an unprecedented rate and CNC systems are the backbone of advanced manufacturing,” said Natalia Chekhovskaya, Executive Director of Advanced Manufacturing at IRSC. The new CNC machine is the centerpiece of this high-intensity hands-on, training environment. The goal is to create awareness of and stimulate interest in all facets of machining, including software development, vibrations, metrology, design, operation, and entrepreneurship. IRSC is offering a five-day hands-on in-person training combined with the free ACE online curriculum.

IRSC is one of three locations in Florida designated as an ACE regional machine tool training center.

IRSC purchased the machine with funding provided by America’s Cutting Edge (ACE), a national organization that has launched an initiative to revitalize U.S. Skilled machinists, trained in the latest technology, are in high demand on the Treasure Coast and beyond.Ĭomputerized numerically controlled milling, or CNC milling, is a machining process which employs computerized controls and rotating multi-point cutting tools to progressively remove material from the workpiece and produce a custom-designed part or product. Fort Pierce - Friday March 31, 2023: Indian River State College (IRSC) has taken delivery of a high-tech computerized milling machine that will enable the College to provide students with the training required for advanced manufacturing jobs.
