What Teachers Say

Joe Campbell

For years, there's been a demand for us to teach CNC. With Origin, multiple students can be working at the same time.

Mel Goodwin, PhD

With Origin, the process is truly hands-on. Nothing happens without the individual having their hands on the machine, and guiding it. And in terms of student engagement, that's the gold standard.

Brian Reed

Origin highlights the skills that we're trying to develop in our students to get them ready for post-secondary life, and to work with industry standards from companies looking to hire.

Anthony Agundes

When you want to give kids a real world experience of modern manufacturing, this is probably the best thing that you can come up with.
