LATHE 05/07/2018

Our Mastercam Instructor will guide our students through the basics of the Mastercam interface, geometry creation, and the fundamentals of Lathe Programming. In the class our students will learn to program many parts from start to finishing and cement  the fundamentals of Mastercam Programming with examples based upon real world scenarios.  Upon completion of this class students will be able to work with 2D wireframe as well as solid data for toolpath creation including roughing, finishing, threading, and C-Axis Milling.

Classes run three days from 9:00AM to 4:00PM. Prerequisite- Basic Computer Skills and have Previewed Mastercam Before Attending Class. Students Also Must Take this Mouse Training Online Tutorial before Attending class. http://www/gcflearnfree.org/mousetutorial/mouse-tutorial/1/1
