Case Study: Butler Tech prepares students for machining careers with Mastercam

Butler Tech - Customer Case Study

Butler Tech, a career-focused high school in Ohio, faced the challenge of preparing students to meet the local manufacturing industry's high demand for skilled CNC programmers and machinists. To provide this training, they needed industry-standard CAD/CAM software that was both accessible for new users and powerful enough to teach advanced manufacturing skills.

Their solution was to implement Mastercam's Educational Suite, including Mill and Lathe with Dynamic Motion. Using Mastercam, students learned design, programming, and machining, which resulted in a dramatic increase in program enrollment from 18 to 42 students per year and maintained a 95% job placement rate for graduates. The software's ease of use and powerful verification tools allowed students to gain valuable skills, and local employers actively recruit them for their proficiency with Mastercam.
