Mastercam User Groups

Jimmy Wakeford from Barefoot CNC · July 12, 2003

Do any of you guys have MC user groups that You attend? (Other than the forum)

I am thinking about trying to start some in my area(NC/SC). I would like to hear from you guys on your thoughts on this.

Who better to ask than users right?

Thanks

Jimmy

Sounds great.

I wish we had one over here.

The only pepole i'm talking with about MC are the pepole in this forum and my dealer.

I think that your idea wouldn`t be succesful one.

First of all because we have this Forum and not many would disperce their attention in two .

Secondly ,because more audience- more fun!

And we are from different time zones ,that means that a probability to have an answer is high in any time !

We are coming here not only to chat .

I,personally,regard this Forum as a huge database of valid knowledge ,that helps me to solve everyday problems .

And the matter of anonimity ,that is easier to achive here.There are some people very vulnerable to this.

It doesn`t matter me but who can be here my neighbor and a competitor?

People prefere to help strangers !

Iskander teh lost somewhere .

User groups are groups that have regular meetings to discuss topics that interest them. This is not accomplished via the Internet, rather people physically show up to these meetings.

JAMMAN · July 13, 2003

Do they have one for ex users that still miss it daily?

Posted July 13, 2003 · July 13, 2003

Recently I was invited to speak at a Solid Works user group meeting. I was impressed at the many benifits it provided to the members of the group.

This forum is great, but entirely different.

If Mastercam were to be willing to support such groups, I would be willing to put considerable effort into the project as well.

cadcam · July 13, 2003

We have Mastercam user groups meetings once a year here and have had them back at least I would say 94.

I have alwas looked forward to them sense I can remember.

They are fun and it's like the Foeum I usally get stuff from the other users.

TeccBoxx · July 13, 2003

I have a user group it is called class. However most of the members are morons. They still can't figure out how to trim a damn line.

I would be interested if there was ever one in the Colorado region.

When I was a re-seller in pa. My dealer at the time and I were working on setting one up, I knew 5 or 6 guys that would definetly go and others that if they knew about it would go. Even though I am not currently an MC user I would like to attend if get something going. I will send you an up to date e-mail Jimmy.

I like them but I don't want to have to pay for it (neither does my company). Instead of having it a a hotel/conference center, do it somewhere where the expenses are not very high (i.e. NTMA in Ontario, Norwalk, and Van Nuys) or non-existant. Don't buy me lunch, I can swing that. I just want to show up, give input, learn some things ask questions and chat with other MC users. That's what I want for a users group.

+1 on what James said

mold100 · July 13, 2003

+1 james, I was trying to use a tech school, and for a trade it would promote thier classes, no one wants to pay 25 bucks for something they already are doing on thier own time.Majority of people anyhow, I would probably pay it if I learned something.

25 bucks

Must be nice. The local User's Group is usually like $50 ish or more! Sure I can win a seat of Draft but plus I gotta burn a vacation day to boot. The wife would not be to happy to pay $50, burn a Vacation Day for me to "Hang out somewhere to talk shop and do stuff you do all the time in that forum anyway". So I said, come along honey. was the expression after I said that.

Ha,Ha,Ha... LOL

Sounds like you are talking about most of the guys who work out on our shop floor!

Thad · July 13, 2003

Sure would be nice if there was one in the Detroit area!

I was involved with a Ideas user group about 2 years ago. A local college was where we had our meetings at like 7 pm. The college had about 20 seats of Ideas and the teacher was there also. I am not saying that the teacher new everything just that everyone help where they could. I would be interested if ther was one in Pa.

MachineSMMC · July 14, 2003

I would go to one if it was in the Minnesota area. They are very useful and it is always nice to meet the fellow Mastercam users.

Jody · July 14, 2003

I would go to one that is with in a couple hour drive from South Bend, IN

What is the difference between a re-seller and a dealer?

thanks

Paul Decelles · July 14, 2003

Hi, my name is Paul and I am a Mastercamaholic... It all started many years ago, back when Motley Crue was the new group on the block.....

mold100 · July 14, 2003

jagourley,

A re-seller works with a dealer kinda like a henchman, finds customers helps set them up with the dealer does software support and spends alot of time here.

Zero · July 14, 2003

You guys up at Services4 should throw one together for us New England MC users

And if Montley Crew is going to be there I want to come.Party on

P_Scott · July 14, 2003

Zero,

Let us know where you're at and we can send some info on any future meetings. We've hosted a couple in the past so it's not too far fetched to host another one.

Jay, we'd be glad to have you although we'll probably try to avoid any "big hair" bands. Not since the Great White - Station disaster in RI a few months ago. You'd probably get to see Motley Crue more out there in SoCal. Maybe we can get some obscure Boston band like Aerosmith to provide the entertainment. Oh, wait. They're another "big hair" band.

cadcam · July 14, 2003

Well you are right. Montley Crew grew up here in my backyard.
