Machining and machine tools are at the foundation of America’s manufacturing capability and its global competitiveness. America’s Cutting Edge (ACE) is a national initiative to restore the prominence of the U.S. machine tools sector.
Through ACE, participants can receive online instruction and then complete hands-on, in-person training that supports a new career path—or advancement—in the machine tool industry for free. No prior training or experience is required to enroll in the ACE computer numerical control (CNC) machining training program.
Polymeric composites manufacturing is an essential part of the national manufacturing industry. ACE Composites aims to equip individuals with the skills used in polymer composites manufacturing. The goal is to broaden the skill base in this area of the manufacturing industry.
All students who complete the online training will receive a certificate of completion, a digital copy of NIST Technical Note 1297, and the ACE Metrology Digital Credential from Credly.
