United Grinding is collaborating with Titans of CNC — a manufacturing group of part-makers, influencers and educators — to launch a Grinding Academy. Much like Titans’ existing machining and aerospace academies, the Grinding Academy offers free online courses that teach and train the next generation of machinists, the group says.

“We’re so excited to be teaming with Titans of CNC on their Grinding Academy,” says Paul Kössl, global head of marketing and business development at United Grinding Group. “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 originated as a lone machine shop in California and has grown into a CNC educational platform that’s recognized by engineers, machinists, hobbyists, students and educators around the world, the group says. With over a million followers across social media platforms (including Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn and TikTok), it is said Titans of CNC has become a trusted voice in manufacturing.

“We’re 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,” says Titan Gilroy, Titans of CNC CEO. “The Grinding Academy will teach students the full spectrum of grinding from fundamentals to finished parts, and the curriculum found at grindingacademy.com will always be 100% free.”

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