Today, January 14th, the freshman class were able to go to Westfall Technik in Wakefield, MI. The employees were awesome and gave them a tour of the facility and introduced them to CNC and CAD explaining how detailed the process is from start to finish. A HUGE thank you to Westfall Technik and their amazing employees for having us! It was a great experience!
