Case Study: California Polytechnic State University improves engineering skills with Mastercam

California Polytechnic State University Uses DFM to Improve Engineering Skills

California Polytechnic State University, a top-ranked engineering school, sought to develop critical Design for Manufacturability (DFM) skills in its students to ensure they were job-ready upon graduation. To meet this challenge, they partnered with Mastercam and implemented its Educational Suite, including Mill, Dynamic Motion, and Art software, into their curriculum.

The solution provided by Mastercam gave students practical, hands-on experience with the industry-standard CAD/CAM software. The robust system, with its multiaxis toolpaths and intuitive interface, enabled advanced instruction and customization. The results were highly successful, with the university achieving nearly 100% job placement for its manufacturing engineering graduates, who are now highly sought after by leading employers like SpaceX, Boeing, and Tesla for their immediate readiness and practical Mastercam expertise.
