On-site Alphacam software training and more.
Our services
Alphacam is now a massive product, covering woodworking, plastics, metal and stone. Before any training I filter out what is irrelevant to your application, then focus on your course content, to streamline and optimise the process. Greatly reducing your learning curve, maximising your investment in software and CNC machinery
1
Course content is focused on your
- Application - eg Kitchens, Joinery, Furniture
- CAD - dxf, 3d surfaces, solids etc
- CNC machines - Flat Bed Nesting or Pod and Rail
2
Including advice on
- Streamlining and optimising your CADCAM workflow
- Machine tooling, optimum feeds and speeds
3
Where possible we will
- Cut and prove out your parts
4
I will
- Come to you, deliver on your site, thus reduce costs
- Be flexible and plan around your schedule
5
Resulting in
- A 'Right First Time' mentality delivering reduced setup times
- Improved programming and machinery output
- Confidence, that your programmers and NC programs are efficient and productive
Who am I, and how did I get here?
Since 1983, when I commissioned my first of many Wadkin UX CNC routers, I've been immersed in CNC applications, from training simple 3 axis "G Code" programming through to 5 axis machining using Alphacam Ultimate.
In 1993 I joined Alphacam, progressing to International Pre-Sales Technical Support Manager, travelling extensively, supporting their resellers across EMEA, Russia, South Africa and India.
In 2016 I started John Edmondson (CAM Training & Support), I'm very proud that many of my customers come from referrals within industry, including machinery suppliers.
I enjoy delivering training, seeing companies benefit from my 40 years of experience.
