where i used to work they used Unigraphics v17 and then v19 then NX2 then NX4 then NX5, but also used Solidworks 2004 then 2006 then 2008 then 2009 then 2011
#Cad cam program software#
What kind of software training depends on where you work. Thank you for taking the time to replying to both of you. I hope it helps, I would really appreciate to have your views. Also I am quite concerned that without having a chance to work in an office I will never get out from the shop in the long run. I am pretty sure that there is not shortcut as any other field of life, but I am wondering what I can do to put me in the best condition to get a chance to make this change. At the moment I am working on CNC programming for mill and lathe and starting soon other trainings on Solidworks and Mastercam. I am trying my best to invest in education. I just used to correct machining programs and to take care of the tools and the maintenance of the machine, which was a 5 axes milling with Sinumerik 840D. I did not use to make components, having the opportunity to work on different programs time by time. The problem is that at the moment I cannot ask too much since I got only 1 year experience to modify programs (quite simple stuff) in automotive. The objective is to work off-line for an office rather than being just an operator. My plan is to start from the bottom and to move up. This is where your experience comes in.Thank you for taking the time to replying to both of you. My goal is to become a CAD/CAM programmer and I would like to know from you what I need to do in term of.Įducation= good solid understanding of maths. Unless you have some experience in a drawing office, I wouldn't worry too much about Cad. Last normally is someone who does Cad / Cam work and who might run the programs.īlimey, where do you start when answering this one?įirstly, Cad is computer aided drawing, Cam is machining.Ĭad can take many forms, from simple 2d line drawing (early AutoCad) to complex 3d multi part assemblies (NX, Catia, Solidworks.) Then as a CNC operator who does setups and does new programs at the machine Then as a CNC operator who does setups and program edits at the machine Many places might give you a chance to learn the newest version but many places might just start you as a So taking training on Mastercan 9 or X or X2 will not help if they want someone who knows X7. My goal is to become a CAD/CAM programmer and I would like to know from you what I need to do in term of education/professional courses/certifications and skills to cover this role.ġ) many cnc jobs just do conversational programming at the cnc to programĢ) i have taken night school Mastercam training classes but a job requiring cad cam abilities will want you to know a specific version of the software. I am back on training and hopefully I will try to get me a job as CNC operator in any company that will take me in. I am trying to get back on CNC Machining after a long pause.
