FASTCAM® BRIDGING TUTORIAL
This YouTube video steps the NC programmer through this plate saving technique. Bridging can be combined with other processes such as line marking and text marking. Customers on Service/Maintenance Agreements have access to a larger library.

PROBLEMS CUTTING SMALL HOLES?
Customers are still buying new fine beam and hi-def plasma torches without realising that the programming has to change subtly because of the changes in behaviour of the torches, especially with small holes and slots.

FREE CAD ANALYZER
This online service supports DXF, DWG and our own CAM format. It will report area, weight and external and internal perimeters for any closed shape. A very nice tool for anyone costing processed steel.

Training can be delivered via the Internet: anytime, anywhere.

  • How does it work? "Log Me In Training" lets us remotely control your computer in "Real-Time".
  • You see everything that we do during the session and you can also interact. You sit back and watch us run your programs and demonstrate functionality and then we can watch you repeat the lesson.
  • No waiting, No expense. No expensive travel or time away from the business is needed for either of us making scheduling a breeze! This new style of teaching is not only far less disruptive to business it has proven to be extremely effective. You can get started and be productive instantly.
  • It is permission based. We can only access your computer when the session is running. You download a small applet that allows us to log into your computer and run it remotely. When the session is completed, the applet is removed from your computer.
  • Secure log in. The entire session is handled with 256 bit encryption permission-based access, and automatic removal of access rights at session termination. Banks and financial institutions rely on this type of security.
  • Support requires broadband Internet connection such as cable, DSL or ISDN.
  • Ideally voice connection via a Telephone with a Speakerphone would also be connected.
  • Affordable. Cost is $150 per hour (one hour is generally sufficient and can be divided into 2x half hour blocks or sessions).

If you are interested in Web Based Training please email us and tell us the FastCAM® product/s you want to learn more about. It is helpful if you can give us an idea of your current level of competency and also what you would like to achieve. We can then design a learning module to suit.
