I don't want to name any names, but I was curious on what the next step is, if you have employees that could use Mastercam training, but your reseller isn't up to the task?  Are there private companies that offer training?  We'd like to get some training that is geared towards the work that we do, rather than just an off-the-shelf curriculum.  We've gone to a few reseller training events, and it wasn't very impressive.

Am I wrong in thinking that you don't get the same sort of training from video courses, as you would from an actual instructor, who has used Mastercam in the real world?

 

Since you brought up videos, I never see StreamingTeacher mentioned.  But it seemed to be one of the more "human" of the video training sites.  Are they not viewed as a very good training tool?

Best training is live from someone that can educate, demonstrate and get the students to engage (ask questions and follow the instructions). 

No amount of training replaces actual work experience IMHO.

I am not just teaching Mastercam I am teaching manufacturing processes and giving insight into ways to make a companies profitable. I know a lot of the dealers personally and have a ton of respect for them and their teams, but I am the one some call when it is deep and very intense programming work.

This is the difference between hypothetical and real world experience.... They will learn more from you in a few days then taking 5 courses.

Agreed. 

I've also been tagged in by a few resellers for in-depth trainings when their customers' needs have exceeded what they can offer.  A lot of the resellers are overwhelmed with training requests and can't offer the kind of one-on-one training with the customers' parts that they really need.

You'll have a great experience with Ron!

wow, awesome, thanks for showing!!

The YBM-8T is a wild machine.  I believe methods did a time lapse video of the actual install of our machine.  I'll see if I can find it.  

 

 

Easier than I thought....

Hi Ron,

The company I work for just purchased a 5 axis Yasda px30i. This is the first opportunity I've been given to program and run a 5 axis machine. The first part I'm working on is simple 3+2 programming and I am picking it up fairly quickly. They also got a seat of Camplete with the purchase and it is a pretty cool tool. Anyhow, I am really looking forward to moving into the new age of 5 axis machining. Any and all advice is always greatly appreciated.

Best regard.

What is your experience with the after sales support from that distributor?
