ENQUIRE ABOUT THIS COURSE →COMPLETE COURSE CONTENT
Hands-on Mastercam training for milling, turning and multi-axis machining. Classroom-led lab sessions on licensed Mastercam stations and real CNC machines—ideal for students, operators and aspiring CAM programmers.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
Create production-ready CAD models in Mastercam
Generate 2D and 3D milling and turning toolpaths
Program VMC, HMC, lathe and multi-axis operations safely
Produce machine-ready G-code with appropriate post processors
Detect collisions and optimise feeds, speeds and cycle time
Build a portfolio of 3–5 real parts for employers
CURRICULUM
Workspaces, file management, settings and toolpath preview.
