Case Study: Springfield Technical Community College inspires young students with Mastercam

Springfield Technical Community College - Customer Case Study

Springfield Technical Community College sought to spark an interest in manufacturing among middle and high school students. Their challenge was to engage young learners with real-world tools that would foster creativity and prepare them for future careers. To achieve this, the college utilized Mastercam's Mill, Multiaxis, and Lathe software in their educational summer camps.

Using Mastercam, instructors could design projects like fidget spinners and mountain biking medals, leveraging its advanced CAD/CAM capabilities. The solution's simulation tools, including Verify and Backplot, were paramount, allowing students to visualize operations and correct mistakes before machining, thus preventing costly equipment damage. Mastercam enabled the college to efficiently produce medals for a large mountain bike team by optimizing cycle times with features like Dynamic Milling, successfully inspiring the next generation of manufacturers.
