-
-
This course is designed to familiarize you with the Mastercam user interface (UI) and provide the resources you need to become proficient with 2D geometry creation and toolpaths. If you are new to Mastercam, it will help you quickly develop your Mastercam skill set; if you are already using the software, (perhaps an older version) it will get you up-to-date and enhance your abilities.
Below you will find an overview of the eCourse video content organized by tutorial and respective video segments. Each tutorial will walk you through creating geometry, applying then verifying toolpaths and generating G-Code for a machinable part. This course will take approximately 13 hours to complete.
All videos in the eCourse are Closed Captioned

Write a review
MasterCam 2022 learning addition is no longer available, some dialogue box are totally different from the 2024 leaning addition and has caused me much confusion, especially because I am at the learning phase. I was wondering if there will be an updating parts of the videos where there are impactful differences?
Understanding Mastercam is difficult for a newbie like myself, especially when there are many upgrades from earlier version to the new one.
