Safety Training
Some of our equipment requires that you take safety training before you are authorized to operate it. These classes also offer basic instruction on use. Currently the equipment that requires training is:
| Training Class | Cost |
|---|---|
| Basic Safety | Free |
| 3D Printing | Free |
| Laser Cutter Safety & Use | $20 |
| CNC Safety & Use | $35 |
| Table Saw and Chop Saw | Free |
| Drill Press and Band Saw | Free |

| Lathe Safety & Use | $35 |
For Laser Cutting and 3D Printing, we provide these one-on-one as needed at no cost. Just fill out the form below and we'll get a volunteer to run your training session.
The CNC Machine and Lathe courses require a higher level of instruction. Fill out the form and when we get enough students for a class we will schedule one and find a trainer.
Dislocated Worker Training
As we get grant funding, M4Reactor offers dislocated worker training. In the past we have offered CNC training as well as 3D Design and Printing training. These are typically week long courses led by local industry experts. If you are interested in taking this type of training through us, fill out the information form below.
