#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?
Mastercam and camInstructor partner to train the next generation
Mastercam and camInstructor partner to bring classroom-ready curriculum to the Mastercam Educational Suite — giving educators the lesson plans and resources they need to train the next generation of manufacturers.
Skills competitions

Free Learning Edition
Our free learning edition is fully functional for design and programming practice. However, unlike our Mastercam Educational Suite, the free learning edition does not generate G-code. All files are compatible with the Education Suite, so you can seamlessly transition to full production when ready. Please know that you will be asked to log-in to myMastercam before accessing the learning edition.
