MA3. 432 Introduction To Mastercam
The first course in a three course Mastercam series.
Introduces the use of Mastercam CAD/CAM (Computer Aided Design)/(Computer Aided Manufacturing) software to design parts and toolpaths for a modern CNC (Computer Numerical Control) vertical machining center. Consists of a series of exercises that progress from designing a 2D part and creating a contour toolpath, to creating 3D solid models and more advanced 2D milling toolpaths.
Notes
