Camosun College is located in beautiful Victoria, British Columbia. Our two campuses serve approximately 19,000 learners a year in certificate, diploma, and bachelor's degree and continuing education programs. The funding received from the NSERC ARTI grant will be used to purchase a state of the art Nakamura CNC lathe. This piece of equipment will contribute greatly to student learning and the prototyping and applied research capabilities of the College. Within the past 18 months, the College has completed the Babcock Interaction Lab which houses Camosun Innovates and the Camosun Technology Access Centre (CTAC). The Babcock Interaction Lab has a dual focus: to support and develop curriculum to strengthen the experience of Camosun students, and to assist local small/medium sized enterprises (SME's) through fee-for-service work and grant funded opportunities. The Babcock Interaction Lab affords students the exposure to the technical equipment that they will see out in industry as well as training opportunities for safe and confident operation of such equipment. With the Nakamura CNC lathe, students will have the opportunity for exposure to a modern industrial turning machine. Training for students will come from the inclusion of advanced CNC turning programming in the learning curriculum. CTAC CNC experts will assist faculty in the development of course material regarding this extremely versatile piece of machinery. In addition, the Nakamura CNC lathe will fill a void that currently exists in the CTAC's advanced machining capabilities, and greatly enhance the capacity to assist regional SME's with their applied research projects. In the past, CTAC has used its existing Matsuura MX-520 CNC mill to manufacture parts that should be manufactured on a CNC lathe, and this greatly increases the cost to industry clients. In essence, CTAC has to use the "incorrect" tool for the job and this increases time, complexity, and cost on some projects that could be avoided with the addition of the proposed piece of equipment. In some cases, CTAC has had to turn away projects involving precision machining due to the lack of an in-house CNC lathe.

Camosun College位于美丽的维多利亚，不列颠哥伦比亚省。我们的两个校区每年为大约19，000名学习者提供证书，文凭，学士学位和继续教育课程。从NSERC阿尔蒂赠款收到的资金将用于购买最先进的中村数控车床的状态。这件设备将大大有助于学生的学习和学院的原型和应用研究能力。在过去的18个月里，学院完成了Babcock互动实验室，其中包括Camosun Innovates和Camosun技术访问中心（CTAC）。Babcock互动实验室有两个重点：支持和开发课程，以加强Camosun学生的经验，并通过收费服务工作和赠款资助的机会，帮助当地的中小型企业（SME）。Babcock互动实验室为学生提供接触技术设备的机会，他们将在行业中看到这些设备的安全和自信的操作培训机会。随着中村数控车床，学生将有机会接触到现代工业车床。对学生的培训将来自学习课程中包含的高级CNC车削编程。CTAC CNC专家将协助教师开发有关这种功能极其广泛的机械的课程材料。此外，中村数控车床将填补CTAC先进加工能力的空白，并大大提高协助区域中小企业开展应用研究项目的能力。过去，CTAC使用现有的松浦MX-520数控铣床来制造本应在数控车床上制造的零件，这大大增加了行业客户的成本。从本质上讲，CTAC必须使用“不正确”的工具来完成工作，这会增加某些项目的时间、复杂性和成本，而这些项目可以通过添加拟议的设备来避免。在某些情况下，CTAC不得不拒绝涉及精密加工的项目，因为缺乏内部数控车床。
