Interested to learn CNC milling partime ly, Any penang University have CNC milling machine that I can attend to?

Penang Skills Development Centre (PSDC)

You can find a Deckel-Maho 5-axis CNC Milling Machine at the Fabrication Center that is part of the School of Mechanical Engineering, USM.



On top of that, if you are really serious, you should pick up a good book on CNC and I'd highly recommend the following book because it explains the professional way to setup and operate CNC machinery. You'll also learn some CNC programming basics.

CNC Control Setup for Milling and Turning: Mastering CNC Control Systems, by Peter Smid

Thank you Critical_Fallacy !!

Costly? Was it course? Do they have CNC milling machine?

You can refer their website for more details:

I was not aware that they are providing training on this.

I'm not sure either. However, if soules83 is a student or staff of the school, naturally, this facility will allow the user to use the machine (under monitoring of the technician) and develop the CNC programming skills. That's the reason I also recommended a CNC book. I believe a serious learner must also read. Some assistance from the technicians maybe helpful. In fact, the more efficient way to learn CNC milling is to work at the steel mill or fabrication workshop.

I was looking for steel mill or fabrication workshop for me to develop my hobby stuff.

You may find a lot of fabrication workshops at Taman Nagasari, Prai Light Industrial Park.

Heavy Industries are located at Bukit Minyak.

that's great , thanks bro you are the best. I was thinking of making some mechanical + electronics toy.

Like what? DIY 3D Printer?

Yeah, Looks fun to do so.

Here's what I understand: Students can do their own code, but the technician will inspect it and then plug it into the system. I've never heard about students actually using it so far.
