Hypertherm unveils expanded online training community

Hypertherm, a Hanover, N.H.-based manufacturer of metal cutting systems, has launched the new Hypertherm Cutting Institute, an online training community that offers a number of resources for people who work with or want to learn more about cutting metal.

The 3-year-old training site has been expanded to include video tutorials that provide step-by-step instruction on a number of metalworking subjects; interactive courses on topics from consumable care and optimization to gouging and cutting techniques; discussion forums and blogs where metal fabricators and hobbyists can talk about their current products, troubleshoot issues, and share ideas; and the My Hypertherm Voice section for visitors who want to offer suggestions for future metalworking products and then vote on their favorite ideas.
