Future CNC Programmer

I’d like to be a CNC programmer. The CNC programmer who’s been training me is a really good guy and he’s amazing at what he does. Basically, his job is to read blueprints and convert them to a three dimensional form on the computer.

He enters the measurements within thousandths of an inch, and tweaks the program for each component. It will take a few years, but that’s my goal - to be as good as him.
