Manufacturing Technology

Students who are mechanically inclined, prefer to work independently, and can concentrate and do highly accurate work, may want to consider a career as a machinist. Machinists use lathes, milling machines and computer numerically controlled (CNC) machines like the CNC plasma cutter, CNC mills, CNC lathes, or 3D printer to produce large quantities of parts for production or one-of-a-kind items.
