Northeast Manufacturing News • Sept 20 • TITANS of CNC Announces Partnerships

TITANS of CNC, Inc. has announced partnerships with Doosan Machine Tools and Mastercam.

As part of its partnership, Doosan Machine Tools will become the exclusive premier machine tool builder partner for TITANS of CNC.

“My team and I are extremely excited to partner with Doosan Machine Tools,” stated Titan Gilroy, CEO of TITANS of CNC. “They are a global leader in machine tool technology and are trusted by companies all around the world. Together we will close the skills gap and train machinists to produce real parts, allowing them to compete at the highest level.”

For over 40 years, Doosan Machine Tools has been supporting the manufacturing industry with high performance CNC machine tools. “Doosan Machine Tools shares TITANS of CNC’s passion for educating manufacturing professionals,” said Jim Shiner, Doosan Machine Tools America’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “The need for trained machinists is greater now than ever, and in our new partnership with TITANS of CNC, we are proud to recommit our efforts to building the next generation of young machinists.”

TITANS of CNC has developed “TITANS of CNC: Academy” and “TITANS of CNC Aerospace Academy” and teaches the latest breakthroughs in CAD, CAM, CNC and metrology. Its online video-based curriculum is free to anyone regardless of skill level.

Mastercam, developed by CNC Software, Inc., is the featured CAD/ CAM software in TITANS of CNC Aerospace Academy, which launched June 29th to help train the next generation of highly skilled CNC machinists and eliminate the widening skills gap.

TITANS of CNC Aerospace Academy is a project-based platform teaching high-level manufacturers the skills necessary to produce complex aerospace parts using the most difficult materials. The Aerospace Academy highlights aerospace machining and processes that give users an inside look at the entire process of manufacturing complex, hard-to-machine parts that are realistic to the industry. Mastercam is featured throughout the platform and is being utilized to produce the majority of the aerospace projects that reside on the free Aerospace Academy website.

“When we set out to build the game-changing Aerospace Academy, we knew from the outset that Mastercam was the only choice for a highlevel CAM partner,” said Gilroy. “Just as our real-part inspired projects challenge users even at the highest level of programming, Mastercam is the greatest software, jam-packed with all of the tools manufacturers need to compete across all industries and meet the tough challenges and ITAR requirements. The Aerospace Academy is the next level of CNC education that will make a huge impact through the entire industry. We are proud to have Mastercam as a key partner in making this a reality.”

“We are inspired by this next step with TITANS of CNC and the partnership with the Aerospace Academy,” said Meghan West, President, CNC Software. “There is no organization better suited to create this material than TITANS of CNC. It is well known that we are suffering from a lack of skilled workers in the manufacturing industry. That shortage is felt from entry level machining all the way to the highest level of precision manufacturing. This Aerospace Academy is where we will see the next generation of the upper echelon. This is where we will find those machinists who are going to innovate, it is where we will find those machinists who are going to push the boundaries, and it is where we will find those machinists who are going to shape the future of manufacturing. I am so excited to see how this training program is going to empower people to find careers in manufacturing that are going to change their lives and change the world.”

TITANS of CNC will use Mastercam to produce additional aerospace tutorials, and in addition will be recreating its Rocket Series, Building Blocks Series and The Art of Fixturing Series.
