Edgecam for Education

"In the past, CNC Software (MasterCAM) has been the dominant vendor in the education market on the basis of both seats shipped and installed base. However, in 2004, Edgecam replaced CNC Software as the leader in the education market."

Why is Edgecam the intelligent choice for Education?
At Edgecam, we are focused on meeting the needs of the educational market through product functionality, ease-of-use, flexible software licensing, competitive pricing and the support and enthusiasm of our staff for the important task of educating young engineers.

Range and depth of machining capabilities

It covers all aspects of production machining and mold and die applications, all on a single platform. The flexibility of Edgecam for Education means it can adapt to the demands and requirements of individual programs and curricula.
Edgecam for Education includes a student edition, giving students the opportunity to practise their skills and prepare project work at home or in the library. NC Code can then be generated in the classroom.
