In every machine shop, success is built on more than just a good NC program.
A successful job includes the programming strategy, tooling decisions, setup notes, fixture selections, quality requirements, and the countless lessons learned along the way. Yet for many manufacturers, that valuable knowledge lives in spreadsheets, paper notes, or in the minds of a few experienced employees.
As shops grow, that approach becomes increasingly difficult to scale.
That’s why Mastercam and ProShop have partnered to help manufacturers move beyond programming excellence and toward repeatable shop-floor execution.
Programming Is Only the Beginning
Mastercam has long helped manufacturers tackle complex machining challenges. From one-off prototypes to high-volume production runs, shops rely on Mastercam to create efficient toolpaths, optimize machine performance, and produce high-quality parts.
But every successful part tells a larger story.
The setup process, tooling choices, inspection requirements, and proven shop-floor practices often determine whether that success can be repeated consistently. Capturing and organizing that information becomes just as important as creating the program itself.
Turning Experience into a Repeatable Process
ProShop helps manufacturers capture the operational knowledge that surrounds every job.
From tooling and setup information to quality records and process documentation, ProShop provides a centralized system that helps teams standardize workflows, improve visibility, and preserve institutional knowledge. Rather than relying on tribal knowledge or manual processes, shops can create documented, searchable processes that support consistency and growth.
Together, Mastercam and ProShop help connect proven CNC programming workflows with the information needed to execute those jobs efficiently on the shop floor.
Why the Partnership Matters
Manufacturers continue to face increasing pressure to improve productivity, and maintain quality while navigating workforce challenges and growing operational complexity.
The Mastercam and ProShop partnership is designed to support a digitally connected manufacturing workflow by enabling closer integration between programming and shop management processes. The collaboration reflects a shared commitment to helping manufacturers improve efficiency, visibility, and coordination across the production lifecycle.
The goal is simple: reduce manual processes, improve data continuity, and help successful jobs become repeatable successes.
Easier Access for U.S. Customers
As part of this expanding relationship, manufacturers in the United States can now purchase ProShop directly through Mastercam’s direct sales organization.
For customers, this creates a simpler path to implementing complementary solutions that help bridge the gap between programming and production. Rather than evaluating disconnected systems independently, shops can work with their Mastercam representative to explore how Mastercam and ProShop can support a more connected digital manufacturing strategy.
Looking Ahead
The future of manufacturing isn’t just about generating better toolpaths. It’s about connecting the people, processes, and information that drive successful outcomes.
Mastercam helps manufacturers program parts with confidence. ProShop helps capture and organize the knowledge behind those parts. Together, they help shops build a more repeatable, scalable manufacturing operation.
Because the best jobs don’t just get completed once.
They get repeated with confidence.
