BobCAD-CAM, Inc. Releases New Training Solution for SolidWorks CAM
As a long term SolidWorks Gold Partner, BobCAD-CAM has provided design customers that need CNC Machining technology with the means of creating toolpath and machine code for CNC Milling and Turning without ever having to leave their native SolidWorks software environments. The BobCAM for SolidWorks plug-in works within SolidWorks and allows the operator to streamline productivity by integrating the design and machining processes.
To address the elements of affective learning, BobCAD-CAM has released their new V3 Training Professor Video Series for customers so that they can learn the ropes fast and at their convenience. The training series is portable so that customers can use them virtually anywhere, on the road, in their office, or in the comfort of their home. The training series includes 2 CD’s containing an index of 65 individual training videos that educate through demonstration and instruction. Included with the videos is a 450+ page digital workbook containing corresponding lessons that follow the workbook. In addition to the workbook are actual CAD files that are used in the training videos.
The company includes CAD files so the customer can practice creating toolpath and g-code programs for their machines without having to spend the time drawing and designing similar parts. By providing part files, customers are able to get up to speed by as much 50% faster. In addition, the training lessons cover all of the machining operations including toolpath machining strategies, simulation, post processing, setting up CAM cutting conditions, tools, material, and much more.
"The issue is not a technology issue, it has to do with learning how to be an expert fast," said Sean Owen who oversees the development of training products for BobCAD-CAM, Inc. "This method of training has proven over the years to be a very efficient and effective method for our customers," added Owens.
