The Mastercam X8 for SolidWorks Programming Exercises book provides a comprehensive “hands on” method of learning Mastercam for SolidWorks.

You will learn how to program a variety of different parts that require most of the toolpath types available in Mastercam for SolidWorks. Extensive emphasis is put on making parametric changes and toolpath updates to match the SolidWorks model changes. The primary focus is on toolpath creation on SolidWorks models.

This book assumes you are already familiar with the basics of using SolidWorks. Extensive modeling skills are NOT required and SolidWorks topics beyond the basics are detailed in the instructions.
