TRAINING: SYIL X7

Do you want to professionally work with metal parts using the SYIL X7?

An individual training on the SYIL X7 4-axis metal milling machine typically lasts about 1 - 2 days, depending on prior knowledge, and covers machine operation, machine safety, and CAM (Fusion 360). During the training, a practical workpiece will be produced together. If you bring your own not too complex design, we can conduct the training using this workpiece.

Example schedule for a 2-day workshop. Ideally, Day 1 & 2 are not on consecutive days to allow time to practice CAM programming for your own part, and then optimize it together on the second day.

CAD knowledge (in Fusion 360) is required.
