CAD/CAM TRAINING
Condensed, fast-paced courses that allow programmers to get maximum content in the shortest amount of time.
9 - 10 students per class!
Instruction is primarily hands-on focusing on the operation of the software, efficient methods, trial and error tool design, and simulation of tool path cutting to graphically represent what tool cuts look like. Classes are held at CCCS’ California locations in Newbury Park, Anaheim, and San Diego.
Online and on-site technical support and training is also available through GoToMeeting, Web Seminars, camInstructor, C-Learning, and Mastercam Certification. More than 75 percent of our Mastercam users make regular use of our high-quality training facilities and outstanding technical support. Prospective customers and current users also benefit from our expanding schedule of User Seminars, breakout classes, and new product rollouts. CCCS now offers informative seminars throughout the year on new manufacturing engineering topics.
