we offer a digital, online library of videos that teach and document the Mastercam work flow.
Membership costs $25 per month or $250 per year, you may cancel your membership at any time without incurring additional charges, for example, if you paid $25.00 on January 15th, you would have access to the video library for a month. If you wished to cancel your membership without incurring further payments, you would let us know before the end of the month via email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or just click on the contact us link and type cancel.

If you intend to cancel and a payment goes through, just contact us within five days into the new billing period and we will refund your payment.

What do I get?

You get access to our online library, of over 120 educational videos.  We presently offer three courses. The original video course was our first set. It takes a process based approach to teaching Mastercam by taking you from start to finish through several machining projects and showing you the tricks that the Pros use to extract the best from the software.
Volume one concentrates on Mastercam specifics, in an in-depth way, showing you feature by feature how the tools can be used. Volume one takes the video technology to a new level, offering search capability of the full text of the videos. Just enter a search term, as you would in Google, and you will be presented with text snippets, from all of the videos that contain that term or phrase, just click the video link next to the text phrase to watch the video.

Volume Two has lessons on 3D and Highspeed machining, Horizontal programming strategies and Mastercam Lathe

Who should use this course?

Companies that want to unlock the power of Mastercam to reduce setup time, decrease cycle time, improve processes and quality, use part files from customers, Program Multi Axis Machine Tools and increase Productivity.
Programmers and Machinists who want improve their skills and earn higher wages
Students, I use these videos as the basis of my Mastercam course at DeAnza College in Cupertino California.
Purchasers of CAD/CAM Technology who want to understand what differentiates Mastercam from the other CAM systems.
Anybody who wants to improve their skills, unlock the power of the software, take it to a higher level or use it as a desk top reference.

What's next?

we will continue to develop course work for Mastercam and expand into additional software products that aid in the CNC Programming work flow.
We are currently working on Multi axis curriculum to be released during the first quarter of 2010.

We will also continue to write relevant articles, post tricks and tips, provide help on the community forums, and of course build out our own forum. Remember, our site forum is available free of charge, just click on forum, at the top, register and post a question.

Once you are ready to take it to the next level, please join our site.
Thanks,
Derek
