West Georgia Tech Integrates Robotics & 3D Printing to Prepare Students for Workforce Success

West Georgia Technical College is redefining CNC education by integrating robotics, automation, and additive manufacturing into its program—ensuring students graduate with the skills today’s manufacturers demand.

With Phillips Robotics, OPTO, and Markforged 3D Printing, West Georgia Tech’s students are now training on the same cutting-edge technologies found in modern manufacturing facilities. From lights-out automation to rapid prototyping before machining, these innovations are bridging the gap between education and industry.

How West Georgia Tech Upgraded Their Program

With the upgraded program students learn:

✅ Seamless Robotics Integration – Fully automated Haas CNC machines with VersaBuilt and UR Robots.

✅ OPTO Training & Support – On-site, hands-on training for instructors & students.

✅ Markforged Additive Manufacturing – 3D printing for prototyping before machining on a 5-axis.

✅ Real-World Applications – Preparing students for high-tech manufacturing careers.

What Educators Are Saying

“From installation to training, Phillips made it seamless. Our students are getting hands-on experience with the exact automation and additive manufacturing processes used in industry today.                                             — Tim White, Machine Tool Instructor, West Georgia Technical College
