Some of
the changes in MasterCAM X can be confusing and cause
considerable frustration for experienced programmers using 9x.
This training program is designed to help MasterCAM 9x users
make the transition to MasterCAM X and also provides a
detailed refresher of some of the more valuable capabilities
of MasterCAM.
For this
training program participants must be able to demonstrate their
ability to create geometry and toolpaths for contouring,
drilling, tapping, threading, and pocketing operations using
MasterCAM 9x.

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 80 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".

and Production, June, 2001)
