With the purchase of a 5-axis computer-controlled CNC machine, we as a school consciously invest in the future of our wood training courses. Our wood department will be expanded considerably in the coming years with a range for every purpose.
A CNC machine is an ultramodern device that physically realizes digitally drawn projects using computer-controlled technology. 20 years ago, only large woodworking companies had a CNC machine. In recent years, the sector has been catching up in modernization and digitization. For example, the CNC machine is increasingly becoming standard in smaller companies and it is impossible to imagine the wood sector without it.
"Digital programming is not easy, but it does ensure a perfectly finished product. I really like that I can learn this during my wood training. " - Ishmael, disciple Wood Learning + Working
As a school, we strive to provide our young people with quality preparation for the contemporary situation in the Netherlands workplace. With this investment we want to teach our students the necessary basic knowledge and expertise to be ready for today's timber sector. Until recently, CNC classes were offered through an external organization. This resulted in less flexibility in developing the educational projects. With the machine in-house, we can now work with our students on impressive modern projects within a professional infrastructure. This way they are one step ahead in preparation for the workplace and/or further studies and a wood training course at GO! Spectrum school is even more of an investment in a bright future.
"With our CNC machine, we bridge the gap between craft and technology. This is how we prepare our students for the job market of tomorrow. ” - Harry Schillemans, Wood teacher
