CNC Crash Lab

CNC machining is the basic process of any manufacturing sector. With increased demand in CNC machined components, hiring a skilled operator is always been a challenge. People still follow the conventional classroom training for CNC programming and operating worldwide. I introduce a CNC programming simulator (CNC Crash Lab) for training CNC operators. A CNC programming simulator with virtual machine (CNC Crash Lab) which will enable students to learn CNC machine operating and programming virtually. Also the students can simulate multiple type of scenarios where accidents happen on machine, which is never possible on a physical machine. The simulator can show the impact of silly mistakes in the program or operations with its approximate repair cost, so that the students will be aware of what not to do on the machine and will be more confident to face the machine physically after using the simulator. The future of this idea is to build a VR based CNC training simulator (using Meta glasses), which cuts the cost and the improve the quality of CNC training.
