What will I learn?
This course teaches practical ways to model and enhance CNC machine stiffness, accuracy, and reliability. You will cover reference frames, kinematic chains, structural and modal analysis, plus main error causes like backlash, thermal drift, and compliance. Use simple diagrams, number-based checks, and tests to build, record, and deliver strong, high-performing machines.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Build quick finite element analysis models for machine frames with true-to-life loads.
- Model kinematic chains for 3-axis mills, degrees of freedom, backlash, and compliance.
- Track stiffness and errors from frames, joints, and thermal effects to tool centre point accuracy.
- Set up coordinate frames for tool centre point, base, and workpiece in clear CAD documents.
- Design upgrades for guideways, drives, and frames to improve overall stiffness.

Your classes are perfect. I got the one-year package and finally have the chance to follow several topics I'm interested in without having to switch platforms... thank you for everything you do, I've already recommended you to others...
