Mastercam, camInstructor Partner for Training

Mastercam, part of Sandvik Manufacturing Solutions, reports a new partnership with camInstructor to bundle classroom-ready curriculum directly with Mastercam Educational Suite, reports Mastercam.

Effective immediately, educational institutions purchasing the Educational Suite and existing education customers on Mastercam CONNECT will receive camInstructor 101 for free. The offering will provide step-by-step lesson plans, project-based instruction, and complete teacher resources alongside Mastercam software.

"Educators have been telling us the same thing for years, they need more than software. They need a teaching solution," says Clint Smith, Mastercam's senior education specialist. "By bundling camInstructor 101 into the Educational Suite, we're giving instructors everything they need to start teaching Mastercam on day one."

What's Included

The camInstructor 101 bundle includes instructional content coveringCNC Mill and Lathe programming packages, with lesson plans, instructional presentations, step-by-step instructions, complete part files, practical tests, and additional teacher resources. Students learn by creating real-world parts in Mastercam.

With worldwide availability slated for future development, the current bundle is initially available to U.S.-based education customers purchasing new Mastercam Educational Suite licenses and to customers currently on Mastercam CONNECT. Current off-maintenance education users who renew their Mastercam CONNECT subscriptions will also receive camInstructor 101 as part of their renewal.

"Our mission has always been to make Mastercam education accessible and effective," says Smith. "This partnership puts a camInstructor developed Mastercam curriculum in front of more educators and students than ever before and that means more graduates entering the workforce with the skills manufacturers need."

Smith continues: "Closing the skills gap isn't just about getting software into classrooms; it's about giving educators the complete support they need to develop the next generation of manufacturing professionals."

The Mastercam Educational Suite with camInstructor 101 is available now in the United States.
