Often an older machine changes the uploaded gcode and you have to download it back to a laptop to see what it changed. Somethings like transferring gcode by rs-232 serial cable or floppy disk you may have to learn by doing. Or making a new lathe tool, that is setting it up in mastercam a tool you might be holding in your hand. The lathe is harder as you have to learn the default safety tool clearances and how to override them like when turning a concave part. I learned mill first then later the lathe. Usually the nightschool instructor can get you a demo cd if you do not have one. the demo works but will not save programs. Not all the books come with the mastercam demo program. I bought the Mastercam handbooks, mill tutorial, lathe tutorial books. The books although not cheap are cheaper than paying for nightschool. Also if you have a "how would you do this" question he can demonstrate it.īuying Mastercam books from eMastercam online is 2nd best way to learn. He also is there to answer questions that beginners would have trouble finding quick answers in the help documentation. I did have to talk to head instructor over the phone explaining that I was a manual machinist looking to update my skills and did not feel the need for taking all the basic machining courses and did not need a machining certificate.īy having a live instructor he shows all the students how to use Mastercam. I have found learning mastercam by going to nightschool at a local college is best. ![]()
