CNC Education Curriculum and Software

To help with the education process FANUC offers software as well as training curriculum for the classroom.

Comprehensive Curriculum

In partnership with CNC Concepts, Inc., FANUC America offers two comprehensive CNC curriculum for machining (milling) and turning (lathe), including key concepts and lessons for machining center setup, programming and operation. Since more manufacturers trust their operations to FANUC CNC’s than any other control platform, it’s important that students and workers become FANUC CNC certified.

CNC Guide

CNC Guide Academic Package

The CNC Guide academic package is FANUC CNC software running on a PC. CNC Guide is ideal for dedicated training rooms or development teams and is available with a single or multi-seat licenses. CNC Guide provides a realistic operation and part programming environment so students can write, test and optimize programs without taking a machine out of production. CNC Guide supports both conventional G-code programming including canned cycles and custom macros and MANUAL GUIDE i, FANUC's conversational programming.

CNC Machining Simulation for Workforce Development

FANUC’s Machining Simulation for Workforce Development offers virtual training on FANUC controls operation, part programming and more. The realistic simulation software, powered by ModuleWorks, can be operated now as 5-axis and 3-axis mills or a 2-axis lathe. Our platform creates a digital twin of the machine tool and simulates the cutting process. Using actual CNC position data, the digital twin provides an accurate and realistic depiction of actual machine behavior.
