Duration: 5 Days
Prerequisite: none
Description:
Part 1 - Learn the basics of the Mastercam CAD and drafting tools. Use these tools to develop basic 2½ axis toolpaths and tool control. Configure Mastercam to automatically calculate speeds and feeds based on your machining intent.
Part 2 - Learn to configure Mastercam to work the way you want to work. Learn advanced 3D CAD and CAM techniques, including advanced pocketing, drilling, and helical entry.
