Hear From Our CAM Programmers

Jose R. (Texas)

★★★★★

After taking a CNC course a decade ago, he had forgotten most of it. The comprehensive SolidCAM and CAD/CAM training gave him a practical way to relearn modern programming techniques online.

Daniel D. (North Carolina)

★★★★★

One thing that stands out immediately about Daniel is his enthusiasm. He loved how the software training was easy to follow, allowing him to confidently program complex multi-axis parts using iMachining.

Ryan J. (Oregon)

★★★★★

Ryan started with absolutely zero machining experience. After diving into the CAD/CAM modules, he now generates efficient SolidCAM toolpaths and runs real production parts on his machine at home.

Why Our Training Wins

US machine shops value speed and versatility. Here is how we make you an indispensable programmer.

⚙️

SolidCAM & iMachining

Learn the secrets of high-efficiency milling. Master SolidCAM's patented iMachining to reduce cycle times and extend tool life, directly inside the SolidWorks environment.

🤖

Multi-CAM Mastery

Don't limit yourself to one software. Alongside SolidCAM, you will also learn Mastercam and Autodesk Fusion 360 to ensure your resume stands out in any job market.

🎮

Interactive Foundation

Before generating toolpaths, you must understand machine logic. Use our web simulators to practice offsets and edge finding, bridging the gap between software and the shop floor.

From "Zero Experience" to Versatile Programmer

STEP 1: SOLIDWORKS CAD & MACHINE LOGIC

Great CAM starts with great CAD. We teach you how to model 3D parts and fixtures in SolidWorks, while mastering core machine logic and G-code fundamentals.

You Have Two Choices Today...

Don't limit your career options by ignoring the bigger picture.

The Hard Way

Buy a specialized course that only teaches SolidCAM. Walk into a job interview only to find out they use Mastercam or Fusion 360, and lose the opportunity.

The Versatile Way

Learn SolidCAM inside SolidWorks, alongside Mastercam and Fusion 360 with Machining Tutor. Build a versatile portfolio and confidently apply to any machine shop in the US.

SolidCAM & SolidWorks FAQ

Do you teach iMachining in this SolidCAM course?
Yes! We cover high-efficiency milling techniques, including SolidCAM's patented iMachining technology, to help you generate faster and safer toolpaths.
Do I need to know SolidWorks before taking this SolidCAM course?
Not at all. We include dedicated CAD training to teach you how to sketch and model 3D parts in SolidWorks before you start generating CAM toolpaths.
Is this course only about SolidCAM?
No. While we provide an in-depth SolidCAM course integrated with SolidWorks, we also teach you Mastercam and Autodesk Fusion 360. Learning multiple CAM platforms makes you highly adaptable for any US machine shop.
Do I need to buy SolidCAM to take this course?
No. We guide you on how to obtain student versions or free trials for SolidWorks, SolidCAM, and other software so you can practice generating toolpaths directly on your own PC.
I don't know G-code. Can I still learn CAM software?
Yes, but we won't let you skip the basics. Our curriculum requires you to understand machine logic and manual G-code first. A good SolidCAM programmer must know what the code actually means before relying on the software to generate it.
