Mastercam 2017 Suite Now Available

Mastercam 2017 Course

Our new suite of Mastercam 2017 courses will help users become proficient with creating toolpaths for 2D Milling, 3D Milling, Turned parts, and 4 Axis machines. These Mastercam 2017 courses are the first release in a series of new Mastercam courses that will benefit new and veteran CNC programmers alike.

Throughout each course, you will dive into several real-world projects to learn how to create, edit, manipulate, and verify. Additionally, you will learn how to adjust settings and choose the correct tool for the job. Experienced users can brush up on specific functionality, while new CNC programmers can complete each course to attain SolidProfessor Technical Certificates and share their achievements on LinkedIn.

The Mill 2D course serves as a foundation to get new programmers working in Mastercam while learning various methods to select geometry and prepare 3D Models for toolpaths. The course focuses on the techniques and best-practices to create, edit, and manipulate toolpaths for Contours, Facing, Drilling, Pockets, Slots, and Engraving. You will also learn how to verify toolpaths through simulation and make adjustments to prevent collisions and optimize machining time.
