SOLIDWORKS CAM Bundle - Self-Paced Training (Supported)
199500
Product Description
The SOLIDWORKS CAM Bundle combines our CAM Standard and CAM Advanced courses. This self-paced training class teaches you to use SOLIDWORKS CAM Standard and SOLIDWORKS CAM Professional to machine parts with advanced functionality.
In the SOLIDWORKS CAM Standard class, you will learn how to generate, modify, and post process 2.5 axis Milling Toolpaths used for the machining of SOLIDWORKS part files. The SOLIDWORKS CAM Professional class will teach you how to use CAM or SOLIDWORKS configurations, VoluMill™, mill machining in the context of an assembly, and 3+2 machining. You will also learn how to generate, modify, and post process 2 axis Turning Toolpaths.
Course Length: 30 days access from the time the course is started.
Instructor Support: Work with our US-based team of certified instructors. Available Monday-Friday from 7am-7pm CT.
Prerequisites:
- Mechanical design experience
- Experience with SOLIDWORKS software
- Familiarity with the Windows operating system
Support
GoEngineer's Supported, Self-Paced Training is different from other online training courses. Rather than being on your own to understand the material, students are able to work with our US-based team of Certified SOLIDWORKS Instructors to make sure you understand the material and you're learning the concepts you need to be successful.
Our instructor team is available Monday-Friday from 7am-7pm CT. Call us for on-demand help at 866-731-0091 (toll-free).
