The Mastercam Handbooks have been developed and
tested for years as part of a course to teach machinists how to use
Mastercam. There are currently two volumes available: Volume 1:
2D Modeling and Machining Volume 2: 3D Modeling and Machining
These books can be used as the primary text book for a college or
trade school-level course, as a self-study guide, or as a practical
shop reference.
A unique feature of the Handbooks is their comprehensive, top-down
approach to learning. Concepts and essential knowlege are included
along with practical applications.
Understanding exactly why things work the way they do is powerful.
You will know the best approach to a problem so you don't waste
time. You will learn to use Mastercam like an experienced pro to get
the exact results you want. Not only will you become more
competitive, you will gain a deep understanding of CAD/CAM that
helps you keep pace as technology changes.
The Mastercam Handbook Volume2 covers all Mill Level 2 and 3
functions, including 3D wireframe modeling, splines, surface
modeling, multi-axis roughing and finishing, and Mastercam's new
Highspeed tool paths.
The Mastercam Handbooks provide you with knowledge and practical
experince that would take years to accumulate on the job. Over 300
pages with hundreds of graphic illustrations, exercises, and
practical examples help make learning efficient and interesting. |
