[cadcam]

Hello all thought I would post about a FREE Webinar that you might want to see and be able to ask Mastercam questions to other Mastercam users and teachers.

Join us for a Mastercam demonstration and Q&A

Jay Kramer teaches CNC Programming with Mastercam at College of the Canyons in Valencia California and provides manufacturing consulting as the founder of Precision Programming Consulting services.

Jay will demonstrate cutting a cam follower around a cylindrical profile using multi-axis toolpaths.

Mike Whitten is an industry professional with 30 years experience and provides CNC Programming services and tooling design using SolidWorks. He is the founder of CAD/CAM Contractors. michael@cadcamcontractors.com

Mike will demonstrate the new stock model recognition in Mastercam X6

Derek Goodwin teaches CNC Programming at DeAnza College in Cupertino California and is the founder of eapprentice.net

Following the presentation Jay, Mike and Derek will answer your Mastercam questions.

If you have specific questions, please email them to us ahead of time, this will help us prepare and keep the meeting moving along quickly.

Send your questions or Mastercam files to derek@eapprentice.net

Yeah. They never record these things. So, if you have other things happening in your life, you just miss out.

actually it was supposed to be send an email derek@eapprentice.net requesting a copy.
TXCNCMAN did you watch?

[txcncman]

No, I had a family situation to attend to at that time. Will there be a repeat soon? Or will be on different topic?

Here is a link to a zipped file that contains a EXE file that opens into a Video from Machine sim in Mastercam. this is the Machine sim of the part I programmed during this session and showed.
When the video is playing you can move and stop and all kinds of options on this file.

Cool. Now this is something that should actually be helpful.

Actually, no help for me. Execution failed error.

worked ok here. it is the mastercam machine simulation of what he did. it is helpful for visual verification of what the machine should do. say should because mastercam machine simulation does not simulate actual g code. highlight of webinar for me was his programming of 4 axis simultaneous part step by step on the fly with no video speed up tricks and no video editing. many well described descriptions on topics like ramping on and off and other detailed descriptions related to the programing of 5 axis restricted to 4 axis output. would pay if he did a series of 4 and 5 axis videos. would pay $25 just for the one he did in webinar. all content from cadcam in webinar. no bull$%it.

did you extract it from the zipped file and double click the exe file?
I can rezip it and load it again the file should be just over 22 mb download and 23.1 after unzipping.
