mastercam for dummies

Aug 04, 2009 1 Replies

I have some mechanical design experience in gear and fa brication..



I've been given the opportunity to pick up MasterCAM and learn it over a few weeks.



Is such software to create tool paths useful for a designer who has little knowledge in machining beyond knowing what a machine centre does...Will it help me to talk to CNC programmers or machinists???



From what I have seen machinists don't really have good opinions of designers in general..



Just asking..


My opinion, spend a few days in a machine shop watching and listening. That will do you more good than MC.

Thank You, Randy
