Certification Beginners Lathe Class - 4 days
Description:
This is a three day class that includes the first two days of the Design course followed by a single day of Lathe specific training. The first two days introduce the user to the Mastercam interface and cover basic wireframe construction. The student will need to have an understanding of these topics for the third day of training. If you are not interested in taking this course with design, or have already attended an Intro course see the Lathe w/out Design course description.
Design Features Discussed:
| Mastercam Interface File Management Customize Icons 2D/3D Construction Level Management Trimming C-Hooks Surfaces Create Drafting Menus Graphic Views Basic Geometric Input Depth Modify Geometry |
Detailing Macros Primitive Solids Edit Drafting Icons Immediate Mode Keys Colors Wireframes Transform Geometry Lettering Shapes File Translators Drafting Parameters |

Lathe Specific Features Discussed:
| Roughing Finishing Grooving Tool Libraries |
Facing Cut-off Threading Tool Definitions |
|||||||
Solids Workshop - 1 day
Who Should Attend: All users that have completed a Mill lev1 or Mill lev3 Intro class and have a need to create, modify and import/export solids. Students should have a basic understanding of wireframe creation.
Description: Students will be shown basic and advanced techniques for solid modeling. All Solid tools will be covered and a Solids training manual will be given to each student. Focus will be given to time saving characteristics of Solid Modeling. This class will consist of lecture followed by hands–on creation of Solid projects.
Solid Features Discussed:
| Surfaces VS. Solids – Why use Solids Converting Surfaces to Solids Converting Solids to Surfaces Basic Rules of Solid Modeling Solid Manager Functions Creation Methods Solid Extrusion Swept Solid Lofted Solid Solid Trimming Boolean Operations Solid Filleting Analyzing Solid Mass |
Shelling Solids Brick and Dumb Solids Wireframe creation from Solids Corrupt Solids 2d Toolpath using Solids 3d Toolpath using Solids Primitive Solids Applying Draft to Solids Solid Layout – Blueprint Creation Solid Feature Detection Thickening Solids Removing Faces from Solids |
|||||||
Who should Attend: Users who don’t currently have a need to learn Toolpaths and want to focus on developing their Wireframe and Surfacing skills. This is an entry-level class making it perfect for the “New” user or as a review for the experienced user looking to improve their skills with the latest version. For more info give us a call and ask to speak with one of our instructors.
Description:
This course is designed as an entry-level course for those users that are not creating Toolpath. This course will introduce users to the many functions available in the latest Version of Mastercam. Day 3 is not a required part of this course.
