This hands‑on workshop for CTE, manufacturing, and industrial technology educators demonstrates scalable, low‑risk CNC instruction using FANUC CNC Machining Simulators and Levil Technology classroom CNC machines: participants will learn to use simulation to teach fundamentals, programming, setup, troubleshooting, and robotics before students touch live equipment—reducing scrap, crashes, and equipment downtime while accelerating competency‑based learning aligned with industry expectations and NOCTI FANUC credentials—and will see how compact Levil machines let students safely run real FANUC‑controlled programs in limited lab space and budgets, linking simulation to hands‑on skills and preparing students for automated, data‑driven production where FANUC controls are widely used.
