Precision Machining Technology

Jefferson College CIM Student

In this Precision Machining Technology (PMT) program, students will learn computer integration in industrial manufacturing, which is the key to providing high precision and intricate machined metal parts into the world's growing demand for extremely technical design.

With the assistance of computer aided drafting and computer aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM), the gap between manufacturing and engineering tightens. The results of this integration are higher standards of precision and quality, along with programming, set-up, and machine cycle time reduction of CNC machining centers and turning centers.

Graduates will be prepared to enter careers as CNC Operators, CNC Programmers, CNC Set-up, CNC Machinists, Manufacturing Technicians, and Research and Development Technicians
