Duration
3 days
Overview
The Mastercam Mill course explains how Learn the fundamentals of working with milling machine. Participants will complete a series of 2D drawing exercises covering entity creation, geometry modification and transformation. Create and move entities onto different levels, import and export files from other CAD systems. You will learn how to machine a 2D part using facing, contour, pocketing and drilling toolpaths. You will be shown to use contour, engraving and pocket remachining, taper wall pocketing and how to verify the toolpaths using solid-based toolpath verification..
Objective
At the end of this program participants are expected to:
On completion of this training the participant will be able to design 2D product drawing, create toolpath to machine the parts using facing, contour, pocket, drilling, pocket remachining, island facing and also be able to use the 2D High Speed toolpaths including Peel mill and Dynamic milling options.
