Case Study: South Texas College inspires future manufacturers with Mastercam

South Texas College - Customer Case Study

South Texas College faced the challenge of modernizing the perception of manufacturing and developing a hands-on course of study to promote it as an attractive, high-tech career path. To achieve this, they implemented Mastercam CAD/CAM software alongside SOLIDWORKS to create a consistent curriculum for their own students and those in a network of affiliated local high schools.

The solution using Mastercam provided a strong, industry-standard software that was easy to teach and learn, with simplified programming and strong tech support. This allowed students to take a part from design in SOLIDWORKS to production on a CNC machine, providing a complete and eye-opening educational experience. The program had a measurable real-world impact, successfully providing students from a primarily low-income, migrant population with high-value skills, leading to living-wage jobs, home ownership, and careers in high-tech manufacturing.
