History of the Partnership

Tormach and NC3 help shape tomorrow’s workforce through certification programs, industry-supported curriculum, and hands-on training. Tormach recognizes the need for highly skilled CNC machinists. This training gives individuals the chance to use a desktop unit providing a foundation for larger CNC machines.

Value of Industry Certification

Tormach’s xsTECH Router Certification developed with NC3, encourages hands-on learning of advanced manufacturing skills using a non-intimidating desktop router. It builds confidence while being forgiving of mistakes that come as students learn a new skill. Novice learners can be hands-on with the tool from day one.

This certification is stackable with any CNC program and helps students begin careers with employers in the commercial machining, aerospace, medical, and robotics industries.

School Benefits

Tormach's PathPilot® control software and free updates for life are included with every Tormach CNC machine. Additionally, PathPilot® Hub in the cloud allows teachers and students to easily manage project files remotely from a browser or Chromebook.

All Tormach CNC machines are compact and run on single-phase power, not just the xsTECH tabletop router. Machines are also modular, meaning schools can start with small machines or basic packages and upgrade over time as budget and space allow.

Future of the Partnership

To keep up with the growing demands of the manufacturing and engineering industries, Tormach continues to work closely with schools, students, researchers, and businesses to have a positive impact on communities around the country.
