INNOVATIVE TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT METHODS WITH VIRTUAL TEACHING AND LEARNING SOLUTIONS
The project aims to enable innovative training and development methods by using virtual teaching and learning solutions that focus on training in CNC multi-sided machining. Cognitive, affective and psychomotor learning objectives will be considered to guide the training. In order to meet the challenge of a lack of content on CNC multi-sided machining in the training regulations and the curriculum, a theoretical-pedagogical curriculum will be created based on the NQF and the topic will be prepared in digital form via APPS and made accessible to the target group. The digital material will be provided with gamification functions so that a low-threshold, quick access to the target group can be guaranteed.
PRIMARY USERS
Trainers, teachers, instructors and institutions who teach and supervise training for CNC machinists and operators.
FINAL BENEFICIARIES
Apprentices for the CNC machinist profession, who and have basic digital skills. The learners will benefit from access to the digital learning platform and its tools and resources and can develop advanced CNC multi-sided machining skills and digital competencies.

What does multi-sided CNC processing mean?
CNC multi-sided machining refers to the capability of a CNC machine to work on a workpiece from multiple sides to create complex geometries and features. This technique allows for various machining operations such as milling, drilling, and threading to be performed on different sides of the workpiece without requiring manual repositioning. This improves precision, efficiency, and flexibility in manufacturing as complex parts can be machined in a single pass. CNC multi-sided machining is utilized in various industries including automotive, aerospace, medical technology, and electronics manufacturing.
