Case Study: Texas State Technical College achieves hybrid manufacturing training success with Mastercam

Texas State Technical College - Customer Case Study

Texas State Technical College's Precision Machining Technology program faced the challenge of continuing its hands-on CAD/CAM curriculum while adhering to COVID-19 social distancing mandates. To overcome this, the school turned to Mastercam and its Educational Suite with Dynamic Motion toolpaths.

The solution was a hybrid teaching model where students used Mastercam on laptops at home for design and programming work, then applied those skills on-campus with socially distanced CNC machines. Mastercam's software, particularly its Dynamic Motion functionality, enabled students to complete complex projects quickly and accurately, leading to substantial tooling savings. The program maintained a 95% job placement success rate for its graduates.
