MCC will be offering Diamond Turning and MRF workshops again this summer.
Based on scheduling feedback from prior participants and employers, they have restructured the workshops to be completed in a one-week format.
Monday – Friday, 8:00 am – 4:00 pm.
Diamond Turning: June 3 – 7, 2024
MRF: June 10 – 14, 2024
They have also decreased class size to five participants to allow more individualized instruction and increased time on the equipment.
Due to the restricted number of participants to be accepted, applications from qualified applicants will be prioritized based on date submitted.
They expect the workshops to fill very quickly—well before the final application deadline of March 29.
To apply for a seat, please use the QR code (unique to each workshop) on the information flyers to apply online at your earliest convenience:

Ultrasonic cleaning is crucial for precision optics, utilizing high-frequency sound waves to generate cavitation bubbles for efficient contaminant removal. The process ensures non-destructive, uniform cleaning across various optical components of various materials.
