  1. That is all good and everything, but guess I am of the mind set no matter how much you read about how to do, hear about how to, watch videos how to do something you can only really understand what it takes to do it at by actually doing it. Even then some things take years to be good at. I liked the Fusion ad that was running "Learn to be a 5 Axis programmer in 2 weeks using Fusion". I have programmed 5 Axis machines for over two decades and still get my butt handed to me on some projects. Problem is someone with no experience trying to mange or run a shop read or hears that and thinks experience means nothing and can go buy that software and hire a Walmart greeter and be a full 5 Axis shop in one month. Colleges pass out Engineering Degrees all the time and many of the engineers have never touched a machine in their life, but are designing parts to be made by machines calling out stupid tolerances and designing features that turn a $5 part in a $100k part with their lack of knowledge about what is really takes to manufacture parts. Someone tries to explain to them the concepts and principles behind why certain things they have done or called out add costs to manufacture it and it is almost immediately dismissed because we don't have Papers on the wall showing we were able to learn in an classroom verses learning how to do it in real life.
