Milwaukee Area Technical College to open CNC Swiss Lab

Milwaukee Area Technical College (MATC), a public, two-year comprehensive technical college, will hold a free, public open house Oct. 17 from 3:00 to 7:00 p.m. in Room T129 in the T Building, 1101 N. 6th St., to introduce area students, educators, manufacturers, and community leaders to its new CNC Swiss Lab. A ribbon cutting and formal program will be held at 4:00 p.m.

MATC recently added new equipment to enhance training for its CNC Swiss machine tool operations course students. Six new Tsugami precision machine tools have been installed in recent months.

According to Dorothy Walker, interim dean of MATC’s School of Technical and Applied Sciences, the college expanded its capacity for Swiss CNC training this fall in response to a growing need from local employers for CNC Swiss machine programmers, setup technicians, and operators. MATC is the only technical college in Wisconsin that offers a full technical diploma in CNC Swiss machining.
