Mastercam has launched the Mastercam Educators Alliance (MEA) to bring together the community of educators that teach and use Mastercam and provide a platform for sharing valuable information. The forum is a private MEA Facebook group, and within the first several weeks of launching the MEA in July, the group had already surpassed 500 members.
Members of the MEA are invited to join the private MEA Facebook group. This group is a place for educators to interact with other instructors and the Mastercam educational community. Additionally, Mastercam provides access to subject matter experts and content that is tailored to the needs of the MEA members. For those that do not use Facebook, a newsletter has also been created to keep MEA members informed of the content.
Peter Mancini, education product manager, CNC Software said, “We have a very large and loyal group of Educators around the world that are teaching with Mastercam. These educators are responsible for introducing the next generation to manufacturing and teaching the skills necessary to keep the manufacturing industry strong. We wanted to create a community where they could get together to share ideas and useful information like curriculum, projects, support, and more.”
