New Training Unveiled to Shorten Learning Curve of Swiss Machines

Updated: Aug 26


G3cnc Unveils STAR Model SR Training

G3cnc is thrilled to announce the launch of its STAR model SR Swiss machine training course. This course significantly simplifies the learning process for operating and setting up Swiss machines, making it accessible to a broader audience.


Swiss Machines: A Unique Challenge

Swiss machines occupy a distinct place in the machining world, offering exceptional capabilities but also presenting unique challenges in terms of processing techniques and tooling. These differences can be daunting, often causing companies to struggle or even abandon their efforts to master them.


Many shops venture into the "Swiss World" only to encounter difficulties due to the specialized knowledge required to operate these machines. With G3cnc's innovative training approach, we aim to make those challenges a thing of the past, empowering companies to maximize their existing man power & machinery resources.


The Power of Visual Communication

Did you know that visual communication is far more effective for training adults and employees? Visual content taps into cognitive and psychological mechanisms, allowing our brains to process it up to 60,000 times faster than text. Visual content acts as a universal language, transcending cultural and temporal boundaries—90% of the information we process comes through sight. G3cnc fully embraces these principles, utilizing dynamic visual media to maximize learning potential.


Training in the Age of YouTube

Today, when we need to learn something—like changing a faucet—we turn to YouTube. We live in an age where video-based learning is the norm, especially for millennials and younger generations, some of whom prefer watching videos over reading.

Inspired by this trend, G3cnc has developed instructional videos as the foundation of its CNC machine training programs.




How Does it Work?

  • Need to learn how to start the machine? Watch a video.

  • Need to change a drill? Watch a video.

  • Need to perform daily maintenance? There’s a video for that too.

This video-based approach dramatically enhances learning for machine shop employees, making complex concepts more accessible.


Structured Training System

What makes G3cnc’s training process even more impressive is its well-organized structure, guiding users from foundational Swiss machining concepts to advanced tasks like machine setup and troubleshooting and everything in-between. The course even covers techniques for reducing and eliminating burrs on produced parts.

Strategically placed quizzes, often occurring every few minutes, require a passing score of 75% or 80% to unlock the next chapter. This "gateway" system ensures that users grasp key concepts before moving on, which helps reinforce learning and ensures comprehension in real time.


User-Paced Learning

Unlike what we typically experience with industry training, this training is designed to fit into your schedule. Users can engage with the content for 15 to 30 minutes at a time, much like reading a book. G3cnc recommends allocating several short sessions each week to gradually progress through the course. When users log back in, they can pick up right where they left off. This self-paced training allows users to learn at their own speed, providing a psychologically safe environment that encourages mastery.


Maximizing Impact

Every aspect of the training is designed to help users absorb the maximum amount of material. Each user has access to a personalized training dashboard on the company’s website, where they can view their current and past courses. This dashboard serves as a training repository, eliminating the need for note-taking. As long as users have internet access, they can revisit any part of their training whenever needed.


About G3cnc

G3cnc champions a philosophy of continuous training for CNC users and machine shop employees, rejecting the notion that training is a one-time event. We encourage companies to align their training programs with the evolving needs of their business and employees, fostering an environment ripe for stable growth and positive transformation. The company believes that by keeping the bigger picture in mind, taking a reasoned and deliberate approach, you can transform your people and organization, leaving a meaningful and impactful legacy. G3cnc is dedicated to developing and providing relevant training programs that help U.S. manufacturing customers become more resilient and adaptable.





Training Options

The STAR model SR Swiss machine training is available in both single-user and multiple-user formats. If your company has more than one employee to train, or anticipates additional trainees in the future, choose the multiple-user option and contact us to add more users.


Even though this training is for the Star SR model, this same highly effective training platform is available for a wide range of CNC machines. To see if your machine is supported, contact us at contact@g3cnc.net
