Abstract
Utilization of Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines is crucial in modern manufacturing. Nevertheless, enhancing the skills of CNC machine operators remains a challenge in education and training. In response, the solution involves designing learning materials that simulate the machining process, particularly in innovative CNC learning integrated with Augmented Reality (AR) technology. The research utilizes the Multimedia Development Life Cycle (MDLC) model, encompassing steps like concept development, design, material collection, assembly, testing, and distribution. AR devices deliver additional visual information to CNC lathe students. The research results in learning materials using augmented reality to present 3D visualizations through markers, creating object representations to train 2-axis CNC lathes. These materials, designed as 3D virtual objects, offer real-time practicum experiences to learners. Black box testing confirms the effective implementation of augmented reality in CNC lathe training, providing cost savings in practicum materials and cutting tools during repeated testing on a 2-axis CNC lathe.
