This unique text presents a thorough introduction to Mastercam Lathe X for students with little or no prior experience. It can be used in virtually any educational setting -- from four-year engineering schools to community colleges and voc/tech schools to industrial training centers -- and will also serve as reliable references for on-the-job use or as self-study manuals. The award-winning authors have carefully arranged the contents in a clear and logical sequence and have used many hundreds of visuals instead of wordy explanations. An enclosed CD contains the complete authorized demo of Mastercam Lathe X and also includes examples and exercises from the text for student practice.
