Mastercam Training

[MarkS]

Our shop has been using Mastercam for about 2 1/2

years. We are switching over from another CAM system, so all user in the shop have not switched over yet. We are now at a place where everyone will start using the new software.

 

We have been looking at options for training. There is training available from our reseller which will be what we start with.

So my question is about programs like StreamingTeacher, Training Video's through mastercamu.com, etc.

 

Would like feedback on these and other programs out there for training aids after the initial reseller training.

 

Thanks

Streaming teacher is nice because you can go at your own pace and when it's convenient.

I waited for along time before I switched from V9 to X3. I guess I felt I didn’t have the time to deal with a new way of doing things. Well I had a job last month that I new I needed help on from my dealer using simultaneous 4th axis programming. Well I didn’t want to ask him how to do it in V9 , especially since we pay maintenance. Let me put it this way, it felt a little embarrassed. LoL!! So I ended up getting Streaming Teacher. I crammed for 14 hours on the weekend, and by the end of that next week I was easily just as fast as I was in V9.

 

So the moral of my story is that it works very well, and the teachers on there are great for putting it into easy to learn terms.

THANK YOU

Sounds like StreamingTeacher is worth the cost both in dollars and time. I think we will be starting with it. I appreciate the feedback.

 

Thanks

I think Streaming Teacher is a good training aid also but I will definitely have to check out the eapprentice site

If you go to eapprentice they offer a one day free pass so you can check it out. Thought this feature was very cool. I used streaming teacher no complaints. How is Mastercam University? Anyone been there???

[Jayson Kramer]

eapprentice would be a good choice. lots of info there.

Sorry but like anything from CNC I would expect to have to spend some $$$$$ on it. eapprentice is a site I personally endorse. If you notice I have an article on it and think they do a good job.

I will be using MAstercam U very soon. I talked to my reseller and the cost for Mill Level 1 cert is pretty cheap. I will make sure to let everyone know how it goes.

I've used streamingteacher for sometime now.If there is a better or easier site than this one I haven't seen one.Art is free and tells you all you need to know.

An idea for your company is to subscribe to Mastercam Product you want your employees to use.Have them all get the password and take some time every day to explore it.Even just at work as a "break" or as fill in time between jobs. You'll save money in the long run.
