The
Mastercam Handbooks have been developed and tested for years as part
of a course to teach machinists how to use Mastercam. There
are currently three volumes available: Volume 1: 2D Modeling and
Machining, 3D Modeling and Machining, Volume 3: Multi-axis
Machining.
These books can be used as the primary textbook for a college or
trade school-level course, as a self-study guide, or as a practical
shop reference.
A unique feature of the Handbooks is their comprehensive, top-down
approach to learning. Concept and essential knowledge are included
along with practical applications. This approach provides you with a
depth of knowledge and understanding that you will not find anywhere
else.
Knowing not only how things work, but why, is powerful. You'll know
the best approaches to a problem. You'll work smarter and faster
than ever. What's more, you'll have a foundation of knowledge and
understanding that will allow you to grow and adapt as technology
advances.
If you are experienced with surface machining, mutiaxis machining is
no more difficult than transitioning from basic tool paths to
surfaces - if you know the fundamental concepts that make multiaxis
setups and programming different.
The Mastercam Handbook Volume 3 includes over 230 pages packed with
hundreds of graphic illustrations, exercises, and practical examples
that will help you become proficient programming multiaxis machines
with Mastercam. A CD with exercises and examples is included so you
will gain practical experience that would take years to accumulate
on the job. |
