Free CAD training offer from Delcam

The course will run on Thursday 18 February, at the company's Birmingham headquarters, and will give potential users of the software the opportunity to see the program demonstrated by expert users from Delcam, plus gain hands-on time with the system. The offer is open to the first 30 registrants and spaces will be limited to a maximum of two delegates from any one company. The day will cover the basic operation of PowerSHAPE for product design, drafting and modelling for manufacture. It is aimed at people with some experience of other CAD software that are interested in the latest release of Delcam's design system. Attendees will gain a much better appreciation of the software than they could get from a standard demonstration, according to Delcam's marketing manager, Peter Dickin. "Most CAD demonstrations are undertaken by engineers with many years' experience of the software," he explained. "This makes it difficult for potential users to judge whether or not the software is really easy to use, or whether it is the skill of the engineer or the capabilities of the software that is most impressive. The free training day we are offering will enable delegates not only to see an expert demonstration but also to try and achieve the same results for themselves."
