New Online Mastercam for SolidWorks Course

Mastercam for SolidWorksThe new Mastercam® for SolidWorks® online course is now available from Mastercam University. This course provides Mastercam X4 CAM functionality within SolidWorks. Inside SolidWorks, you can access 2D and 3D toolpath strategies along with high speed toolpaths and fully automated Feature Based Machining for milling and drilling features.

This course consists of six modules:

  • Getting Started which walks you through preparing Mastercam for SolidWorks and the part file.
  • Design for Toolpaths uses SolidWorks to create geometry, emphasizing geometric and dimensional constraints for controlling toolpaths.
  • Essential Machining–Parts teaches toolpath strategies, creating toolpaths on parts, and toolpath control.
  • Essential Machining–Assemblies teaches toolpath strategies, creating toolpaths as assemblies, and toolpath control.
  • FBM Toolpath introduces Feature Based Machining to automatically program pockets, contours, and drilling routines.
  • 2D High Speed Toolpaths presents HST toolpath techniques for shorter cycle time and better part finish.

Mastercam Trade Shows

tradeshow boothAs a sign of the times, tradeshows are getting smaller and smaller. This year, the annual WESTEC show was nearly half the size it has been in years past. Despite its diminished size, the Mastercam booth was brimming with activity.

From the live demonstrations in both Spanish and English to the one-on-one demonstrations that were held concurrently, the show vastly exceeded our expectations.

In the future, WESTEC is being moved to an every other year format, with the next show planned for 2012. For next year, SME is looking into targeting emerging markets by putting on AERODEF, a segmented aerospace and defense show, in Anaheim, CA, April 5 – 7, 2011. We hope to see you there!

Next month (May 25 – 27) the EASTEC show will be held at its usual venue, the Eastern States Exposition in West Springfield, MA. Be sure to stop by booth 5245, say hello to the Mastercam team, and check out what Mastercam X4 CAD/CAM software can do for you!
