Wide Bay - CAM Training - 2D / 3D CAD models to CAM code files - April

Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) uses software to control machines and automate precise, efficient production processes.

Boost your manufacturing skills with our accredited training.

This program equips you with practical, industry-ready skills to generate accurate 2D and 3D code files for CNC machines and computer-aided manufacturing systems.

You’ll learn how to streamline production, improve precision, and reduce errors—skills in high demand across aerospace, defence, automotive, and general engineering sectors.

Whether you’re a tradesperson, apprentice, or school leaver, this training enhances your career opportunities and gives you a competitive edge in today’s advanced manufacturing workforce.

This 4-day, face-to-face program (delivered across 2-3 weeks) will provide participants with foundational CAM skills using Autodesk Inventor.

Delivered by experienced trainers from Outsource Institute RTO #31560

You'll complete two nationally recognised units:

• MEM09022 – Create 2-D code files using compuer-aided manufacturing system
• MEM09023 - Create 3-D code files using computer-aided manufacturing system
