RTMA Members - Receive Mastercam Training at a Discounted Price!

Mastercam 

The Rochester Technology and Manufacturing Association (RTMA) has teamed up with OptiPro to offer subsidized Mastercam Training! If you are a member of the RTMA, you can take advantage of this great opportunity to sharpen your Mastercam skills! If you are not a member but would like to join so you can benefit from this offer and many others, please contact the RTMA directly for membership details.

This offer is limited to 24 member companies on a first-come, first-served basis. In addition, OptiPro, a certified reseller and training facility for Mastercam, has agreed to reduce their standard pricing by 25% for participating RTMA members! RTMA would subsidize half of the remaining cost up to a cap of $1,000 per company, and the company would contribute the other half.

For example, if a course is normally $1,000, OptiPro will discount the price by 25% for the RTMA (Remaining cost = $750). The RTMA would then pay half of the remaining cost ($375), and the member would pay the other half ($375). This means that RTMA members can receive a $1,000 course for only $375!

The RTMA will pay half of the course cost up to $1,000 cap per company, not per student. Any overage is the responsibility of the RTMA member.

More information regarding the courses and cost information can be found by clicking the link below:

(Please note that standard prices are listed - the 25% discount is not applied to the prices in the PDF).

OptiPro has upcoming training classes scheduled for the following topics:

  • Lathe Group Class 3-Day Course - December 2nd, 3rd and 4th (Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday) 
  • Beginning Mill Group Class 4-Day Course - December 16-19 (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday) 

If you are interested in this special offer to receive Mastercam Training at a fraction of the standard price, please contact Lynda Bechtold at OptiPro Systems - (585) 265-0160 or lynda@optipro.com.

For questions regarding the subsidy or to join the RTMA, please contact Kevin Kelley, Executive Director, at 585-292-3760 or kkelley@rtma.org.

Tech Tip on Operating System Support: Sunsetting 32-bit
CNC Software Inc. continues to review the operating system (OS) requirements for Mastercam with a view to providing the best possible user experience for our customers. Mastercam X7 will be the last major release to support the Windows 7 32-bit OS. Future major releases will target Windows 7 64-bit and Windows 8 64-bit only. Our information shows that the large majority of Mastercam customers already use 64-bit systems, benefiting from the faster, more stable environment they deliver.

We will post reminders of this shift as we move closer to the next release of Mastercam.  

Reminder: Demo/HLE for X6 Expired in October
Please note that the X6 version of Mastercam Demo/HLE expired at the end of October. All users of the X6 version will need to update to the X7 version.
