Surface & Multiaxis CNC
Machining Application Using MasterCAM X2
This is an
advanced training program for CNC machinists, programmers, and
manufacturing engineers with MasterCAM experience and training
who need to develop more advanced skills in 3-D surface and
solid modeling techniques, mulitaxis toolpath programming for
complex machined parts, and developing post processors to
accommodate various machine tools.
This
training program has been created for CNC professionals who must
advance their skills and knowledge for using CAD/CAM technology
to develop NC programs for complex machined parts with an
emphasis on speed, accuracy, and cycle time efficiency. For this
advanced training participants must have successfully completed
a basic MasterCAM®
training program or have experience in programming toolpaths
using MasterCAM®.
Applicants for this program must be able to demonstrate their
ability to create geometry and toolpaths for contouring,
drilling, tapping, threading, and pocketing operations using
Mastercam®.

Application project
Training will be at the PDC's new state-of-the-art CAD/CAM
lab in Montrose. The lab is equipped with a HAAS MiniMill
and SL-10 lathe, both fully tooled and ready. The CAD lab is
loaded with the latest versions of Mastercam® and SolidWorks®.
Participants will attend five hours per week for 16 weeks for a
total of 64 hours of hands-on training. Enrollment is limited.

Did you know?
"CIMdata views Mastercam® as the de facto industry standard
PC-based CAM software product. It is a well-known, competitively
priced, general-purpose software that provides a broad base of
modeling and NC software capability. It is appropriate for most
machining environments, from production machining operations
within manufacturing firms to machining relatively complex
surfaces within mold shops. It is particularly well suited to
job shops that have a wide range of machining requirements".
(Alan Christman, "High Marks for a Software Standard," Tooling
and Production, June, 2001)
