Training
Nanotech’s approach to training combines classroom instruction with essential hands-on diamond turning experience in our state-of-the-art training lab. It is designed to teach students the concepts they’ll need to produce high quality parts efficiently manufactured in a safe manner independent of the particular end-market their employer serves.
The training programs are organized into introductory, intermediate, and advanced categories to align with the changing needs of students as their experience and capability grow. Whether it’s a new hire that has never used a diamond turning machine before, or a seasoned veteran that wants to learn the latest advancements in machining techniques, our goal is to share subject matter expertise and shorten the ramp to productivity.
