From a programming novice to a master, every CNC person develops differently in the CNC life. Whether you are a UG novice or an old driver, the following 8 suggestions to improve your programming skills
1. Know your own learning style
Everyone has their own learning style. Some people like to acquire knowledge through reading, some people need to do it by themselves to remember it, and some people hope to teach them by hand through the teacher's lectures. Fortunately, in our day and age, there are so many free or cheap learning resources that you just need to search the Internet to find them. This way, you don't have to waste time on a study method that doesn't suit you.
2. When three people walk together, there must be my teacher
One of the fastest ways to improve your skills is to ask for knowledge and experience from those factory masters. If you happen to have a good teacher, that's great, but it doesn't have to be. There are many ways to get advice from industry masters: chat with your team leader, meet up with local programmers offline, or ask questions in Qianyan Education. On these occasions, you can boldly show the programs you have written and ask them to give some comments and suggestions. Don't be intimidated by criticism or feel like you might be intruding on someone else's life. In fact, many people are willing to discuss with others some professional issues they are good at, and providing help in this area will make them feel very fulfilled. If you don't ask others because of psychological pressure, then you are missing a valuable opportunity to improve your skills.
3. Remember the 15-minute rule
If you're stuck on a problem for more than 15 minutes, seek help right away! Put down the work at hand for a while, ask colleagues if there is a shortcut to solve the problem, or describe the troubles you encounter in detail on websites like Toutiao. No matter who you ask for help, you need to calm down, describe the problem in an objective and neutral tone, and don't be emotional. This will bring you one step closer to solving the problem. For the most part, someone else has had these problems before you have. Many enthusiastic people will share with you how they solve these troubles, or assist you to overcome problems together.
4. Get in touch with some factories to understand the process
Is there any way to guarantee progress? That is to practice and keep challenging yourself. This means you should be competent in general CNC programming. Even if you have a full-time programming job, the job may not be challenging enough, and progress will be slow on the job alone, because during the machining process, various types of problems are often encountered, especially the machining process, The program is not optimized enough, resulting in greatly reduced processing efficiency and effect, and even serious consequences!
5. It is best to start as a machine operator
It is best to start as a machine tool operator. The beauty of mechanical processing cannot be fully appreciated without personal experience. Only by practicing it yourself can you know where the skills you have mastered can be used. Design can only be competent after a strong accumulation of experience and knowledge. Design is solving problems and innovating. You just graduated. Give it to you Do you know how to get a product? Drawing design, material selection, process arrangement, tolerance setting, roughness determination, inspection method arrangement, qualification standard determination, and even the selection of processing machine tools and cutting tools must be clear, otherwise any worker who asks a question will be able to understand You were tongue-tied when you asked. Longxiang Jiutian must first dive under the nine places, and it is useless when you are interested in UG.ProE.Solid Work. The key is whether you can be proficient in any one. If you can be proficient in any aspect of skills that the organization urgently needs, then , which direction you start from is easy to come by, and in the end it is a word, how much food you want to eat, the key depends on how much skill you have.
6. Share what you have learned
There is an old saying that goes well, teaching others is the best way to learn. When you learn something new, don't be shy about sharing it. You can show yourself by recording video tutorials and writing blog posts. Sharing not only reinforces what you've learned, but also demonstrates your skills to future bosses and clients. Plus, it will give you even more self-confidence!
7. Make a little progress every day
No one can master CNC programming overnight. Persistent deliberate practice is the only secret to evolve from a computer operator to a programming master. Take a few minutes to step away from your busy schedule and make a small improvement every day. You can use these few minutes to learn a new command parameter. Over time, these small daily improvements will lead to qualitative changes from quantitative changes, bringing leaps and bounds.
8. Don’t work at three o’clock and one line every day, go outside more when you have time
Many of the current CNC operators are operators, and there are no technical requirements, as long as they can change and set tools. Just know what those buttons mean. There is no future in operating the machine, even if you can program at most, you can only be a technician, and the time to do CNC is long and boring. Usually 10-12 hours, two shifts.
Every day and products, drawings. Dealing with machines.
