The following courses are based on MasterCAM software and are offered specifically to: mechanical engineers, designers, technologists, and any related occupations.

Most of our courses are offered every semester (Fall, Winter, and Spring), and we encourage you to look for courses offered this term. Some of our courses are offered based on demand: please contact the Continuing Education office to inquire about possible dates and times for these courses and to indicate your interest.

The following courses are offered:

This course focuses on the creation of 2-D geometry and 2-D milling operations featured in MasterCAM X3. Learn the techniques and methods that can be used to produce correct and efficient CNC code for the milling operation. Topics include:

• create, modify, and X-form 2D geometric entities
• tool paths in top tool plane
• 2-D and 3-D contour tool paths
• pocketing
• engraving letters
• drilling, counter boring, pick and chip break, tapping
• trim tool paths
• tool and material definition and their libraries

Prerequisite(s): Mechanical Drafting and exposure to mill operations is essential.

Fee: $ 532.69 (includes materials fee)
