Trident Technical College Machinists

This past week, our team here at Trident Technical College won the A. Wade Martin "Innovation Team of the Year" award. This really highlights our capabilities we have in the SCATC and the entire college. We are using the latest software, CNC machines, and 3D printers to give individuals the skills they need to succeed in high-tech industry. Congrats to everyone who helped with our advanced manufacturing projects!!!

Spring semester is rolling along. The 1-2-3 blocks are getting done. It's great to see students making parts. Manual machining is the foundation of CNC work.

Let us know if you want to take classes. Or want more info about CNC, CAD/CAM, or 3D printing.

It's always great to see the completion of projects at the end of the semester. These skills lay the foundation for so much more to come. I hope everyone has a great Christmas and New Year. See you in spring semester!

Thanks to Gene Haas Foundation for student scholarship awards. Our students are working on NIMS certs, turning between centers. Wrapping up the fall semester.

Some of our apprentices created some awesome projects this semester. Another chapter in the book. Let us know if you are interested in machining and we will get you in the right classes.

In a machine shop filled with milling machines and lathes...things break sometimes. Here's a little machine maintenance on a Wednesday morning. Have a great day!

There's something about about this large face Federal gauge that's just special. I find older high precision technology like this is amazing.

Also, we finished the first week of the new semester. We are very excited for all of the new machinists. Having a skill or trade is so important now. We need more skilled trades people. Have a great semester!

West Michigan company helps with ventilator shortage

Here's a stroy about machinists making parts to help fight this virus. A lot of people don't know what machinists do...we make things...anything. Given the right resources and time...and determination, a machinist can make anything. https://www.woodtv.com/health/coronavirus/west-michigan-company-helps-with-ventilator-shortage/

woodtv.com As the virus continues to spread, the race to produce and equip hospitals with more devices is underway.

I hope everyone is staying safe out there. We are finishing the semester with online instruction...we will get through this.

Projects are coming together!

Spring 2 starts tomorrow! Can't wait to get those CNC machines rockin.
