Stengthen Your Program with Mastercam Instructor Training
Our Summer Teacher Training program is designed with you, the instructor in mind. Not only will we teach you to use Mastercam—you’ll learn how to teach your students to use Mastercam effectively. Collaborative, hands-on training lets you experience the projects in much the same way your students would. In addition, classes are kept small so we can focus on the needs of group.
 In this difficult economy, we know budgets are extremely tight. But this is also when it is more important than ever to make the most of the tools and software you already have through exceptional training. To help make it easier for you to get approval to attend Mastercam 2010 Summer Teacher Training, we are offering a special discount.

- Instructors that attended Mastercam STT in 2009, 2008, or 2007 pay just $375 per class.

Intermediate Projects

$550 |

The bulk of the time in this project based class will be spent taking a two dimensional image through a complete design process. You will learn how to convert an image from raster to vector, manipulate the design in Mastercam Art, cut a prototype in wood, vacuum form a mold, and how to then reverse that image in Mastercam Art in order to create a two part injection mold.
Prerequisite: Completion of Mastercam Fundamentals or instructor permission.
On the first day, Intermediate Projects will quickly review the basics of part design as well as pocket and contour toolpaths. If you are not yet comfortable with those concepts, the Fundamentals or Basic Projects classes will likely better suit your needs.
