United Grinding Group and Titans of CNC, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of precision machines for grinding, eroding, laser, measuring and combination machining, a manufacturing group of part-makers, influencers and educators, have collaborated to launch the all-new Grinding Academy. Much like Titan’s existing machining and aerospace academies, the Grinding Academy will offer free online courses that teach and train the next generation of machinists.

Paul Kössl, United Grinding Group global head of marketing and business development, said: “We are so excited to be teaming with Titans of CNC on their Grinding Academy. The precision and quality made possible by CNC grinding is something that more manufacturers should know about. The academy will showcase all of that power and potential, while also teaching viewers how to harness it.”

Titans of CNC’s humble origins – a lone machine shop in California – has grown into the world’s first CNC educational platform that is recognised by engineers, machinists, hobbyists, students and educators around the world. With over a million followers across social media platforms including Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, and TikTok, it has become a trusted voice in manufacturing.

Titan Gilroy, CEO of Titans of CNC, said: “We are grateful for partners like United Grinding, whose world-class equipment and collaborative philosophies allow us to do what we do, which is educate and inspire anyone who has a passion for manufacturing.

“The Grinding Academy will teach students the full spectrum of grinding from fundamentals to finished parts, and the curriculum found on the website (www.grindingacademy.com) will always be 100% free.”

Titans of CNC has four United Grinding machines on its shopfloor in Texas: a Blohm Planomat XT profile grinder, Studer favorit and Studer S41 cylindrical grinding machines, and a Walter Helitronic Vision 400 L tool grinder. These machines will be the first tools used to create content for the Grinding Academy.
