Mastercam 2024 2D Router training

Cimquest is happy to offer a new Mastercam 2024 2D Router class covering the key points of programming your CNC Router. This is a foundational class in 2D router toolpaths that includes the topics of nesting, block drilling, patterns, tabbing, and aggregate heads. We are offering this open enrollment class remotely and as a dedicated class at your facility/one of our offices. Our Mill 3D and 5-Axis classes are directly applicable if you have a Router with those capabilities.

This is a 4-day class with the following prerequisites: Basic PC skills and general CNC Router setup and operation knowledge.

Our instructor will mentor you in the basics of Mastercam interface navigation, geometry, and tool path creation so that you will be able to program many different parts from start to finish. You will learn the foundational principles of basic 2½ axis tool paths and build upon them by programming many real-world examples to develop your abilities. Upon course completion you will be able to create, manipulate, and import basic 2D wireframe and Solid models for tool path creation in drilling cycles, contouring, pocketing, nesting and tabbing.
