More about Bodor Flatbed Laser Cutter and DMG Mori CNC Turning Center and funding

The Bodor Flatbed Laser Cutter and DMG Mori CNC Turning Center will help the Machine Trades and Welding programs at Anoka Tech increase capacity and bring its training in better alignment with pieces graduates could expect to see on the floors of employers and industry partners. Acquisition of both pieces of equipment was made possible through a combination of funding from loans through Anoka County’s Housing and Redevelopment Authority, the Minnesota Legislature and contributions from individual and industry donors.
