#1 CAM Solution for Educators
With over 150,000 worldwide educational licenses in use, we empower the next generation of CNC programmers. For over 40 years, Mastercam has been the bridge between classroom learning and real-world manufacturing. This is why Mastercam continues to be the most widely used CAM solution within technical education programs.
Students learn on the same software used by Boeing, IBM, and Sikorsky—giving them immediate industry relevance and career readiness. And with substantial educational discounts and comprehensive support, we make it easy to integrate Mastercam into your curriculum.
When your students graduate with Mastercam expertise, they enter the workforce already fluent in the industry standard. Why settle for anything less than the software that powers modern manufacturing?
Skills competitions
We sponsor numerous programs and competitions to expand opportunities in education to get students excited about careers in manufacturing. Learn more about the current competitions we sponsor.
Mastercam Learning Edition
Our learning edition is fully functional for design and programming practice, but does not generate G-code. All files you create are compatible with our Mastercam educational suite, so you can seamlessly transition to full production when ready.
