On Dec. 12, Diversified Machine Systems (DMS) hosted over 50 H.O.M.E. students, parents and chaperones for a visit to the DMS World Headquarters as part of its educational tours initiative. H.O.M.E. is Helping Our Members Educate, a local home-school group that gives students the opportunity to learn and experience new elements of education.
DMS Sales Coordinator Kristi Hilligrass led students on an office tour that included a series of educational videos in the DMS Training Center. For the main portion of the tour, Mechanical Engineer Clay Guillory guided students around the DMS manufacturing shop floor to show them how machines are manufactured and assembled on site.
DMS CEO Patrick Bollar gave live CNC router demonstrations, using a Freedom Machine Tool Patriot 4' x 8' CNC router with a lathe, to produce domino sets that would be distributed as Christmas gifts.
"As home-schooling parents of H.O.M.E., it is important to us that our future scientists and engineers are exposed to real world cutting-edge companies," said H.O.M.E. member and parent Greg Halleck. "DMS is certainly one of those companies. Kristi and Clay gave us an excellent tour. The kids' imaginations were sparked seeing the impressive machines being assembled and tested. DMS gave our students a great glimpse into the companies of tomorrow, where they may be future employees. Our parents and students were excited when talking about this experience, and many have made comments about their children thinking outside the box on how their current interests could blossom into a career choice like woodworking, machining or engineering."
"Community outreach and workforce awareness are important initiatives for DMS, which makes educational tours available by appointment," said a DMS spokesperson. "DMS was honored as a 2014 Colorado Company to Watch and ranked #101 in the Top 250 Private Companies in Colorado." DMS is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of 3- and 5-axis CNC routers and large format machining centers.
