Have used Mastercam and solid model program in Mastercam for 12 years at high school level. Some projects for grade 11 and 12 have been sundial molds for pouring concrete into. Cut 2" styrofoam and reverse geometry. Use pocket, contour and drilling programs. Crib boards are good projects for teaching programming in Mastercam. Have cut blue wax for investment casting, currently working on Belt Buckles cut Aluminum and bend slightly after milling. Cut molds for golf putters, one of my favourites. Advanced level. Takes roughly the semester 16 weeks to teach program, milling, pocketing, drilling, design curriculum. Norm.

My students are having difficulty printing a number of dwgs to an hp1000 color printer. print all dwgs in black and white. Can print 2 dwgs and when go to a third the program locks up. Must reboot system win98. mc 7.3. Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated. the doc.

Would there be a benefit for students to draw designs in 2 dimensions at different 3d levels so that machining errors would be less likely to occur? The doctor.
Are there any teachers using Solids? My students are developing solids in grade 11,12 tech design and manufacturing tech. Just wondering if you would know when it is wise to use add a boss, or create a body? Not sure benefits of one over the other when producing parts. Thanks. The doctor.
Anyone know how to chain dimensions so that dimension lines line up exactly without having to zoom up on EACH dimension or arrowhead with previous. AutoCad users may know what I mean. Haven't been able to find an automatic toggle for this option. Students are sloppy in doing this for finish drawings. Thanks for helping the doctor.
Secondary school teacher looking around to see if anyone knows how to create threads in solids? Have tried felix chook but program keeps crashing. Any help would be appreciated.
