What you'll learn
Mastercam is a professional CAD/CAM course designed to develop practical skills in CNC programming, toolpath creation, 2D and 3D machining, milling, turning, simulation, verification, and post-processing.
The course begins with CAD geometry creation and gradually progresses to advanced CAM operations, including 2D milling, 3D machining, drilling, turning, threading, toolpath optimization, multiaxis machining concepts, CNC programming, simulation, and machine-specific post-processing.
Students will learn the complete CAD-to-CNC manufacturing workflow, from preparing geometry and selecting tools to generating verified CNC programs for machining applications.
