Custom Class in Indianapolis Area

[Rotary Ninja]

I want to take a class, but I don't want to pay for training I don't need. I want a day to sit with an instructor and bring some part models and ask the questions I need answers to. It needs to be near enough to the Indianapolis area that I can drive there, take the class, then drive home.

 

A little background...

I have machined parts costing over $1,000,000 and have worked a lot in the aerospace, medical, and automotive industries. I have made parts weighing thousands of pounds to parts the size of a stick pin (see link in my sig). I have been using Mastercam since X first came out and am competent enough to make any part, and model up most things using surfaces and curves. I have never really been taught Mastercam by anyone and have learned it all on the fly. I am now the guy at our shop that everyone asks for Mastercam help. But there is a lot I still don't know. I have ran up to 8 axis machines, but the shop where I am at now (where I learned Mastercam) only has 4 axis capability. So I've never really programmed any 5-axis stuff.

 

I just want to sit with someone with more Mastercam knowledge than me and pick their brain for a few hours about creating surfaces, solids, and some of the more advanced toolpaths and stuff. Is there anything out there like this? I see they offer a program called "Application Days" at the CNC Software Corporate office. But I can't fly to Connecticut for training.

 

Thanks!
