Expandable routing machinery
MULTICAM CNC routers give schools the ability to offer a unique “hands on” approach to the world of computerised design and manufacture.
They can help develop students that are ‘workplace ready’ or ‘world ready’ by utilising procedures and equipment actually found in real manufacturing environments.
Delivered as a turnkey solution, Multicam CNC routing machines are designed for ease-of-use and are able to integrate with any CAD/CAM software a school may already be using.
Multicam CNC routers can also be supplied with industry standard CAD/CAM software that features extensive interactive learning and support tools, including online tutorials and a dedicated Youtube channel.
Available in a number of sizes and with numerous options, Multicam CNC routers can be tailored to exact requirements, allowing full control over the facilities and opportunities provided to students.
Expandability means that, as needs develop and grow, investment grows too. This provides a cost-effective, long term return on purchases and ensures schools are able to provide students with the latest technology.
The versatility and flexibility of Multicam CNC routers means they can be included in programs across a range of faculties and computing study areas such as Industrial Arts, Technical and Applied Studies, Engineering Studies, Information Software and Technology, and Software Design and Development.
Multicam CNC routers can expand a teachers toolkit by presenting more explicit teaching aids, generating engagement with a broader student audience across all age groups with various levels of understanding and ability.
Multicam CNC routers have been used by schools to design and manufacture a range of diverse objects, including model boat hulls to scale models of famous landmarks.
Their appeal is they can be used to inspire creativity and imaginative design, allowing students to physically realise their vision through manufacture.
Multicam CNC routers are supplied by Multicam Systems through its offices in Newcastle, Melbourne and Brisbane.
An experienced team of factory trained technicians provide full onsite training, or Multicam can provide in-house training at any of their dedicated training facilities, and the experience gained can be incorporated into professional development plans.
By incorporating Multicam CNC routers in to a school plan, they can be a valuable aid in raising student engagement, literacy and numeracy levels, as well as used to meet the requirements of the new science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) initiative.
