Understanding Mastercam

Rating:
Summary: Not a bad book, but outdated and too simplistic
Review: This book tries to explain Mastercam software to novice students. The chapters and topics are well thought out but don't go into nearly enough depth. One big problem is the book's use of Mastercam V7, which is 4-5 years old. A book published in 2002 should use software from 2002. The screenshots are excellent, but the book would need to double in size and feature the latest software to become a contender in the CAD/CAM marketplace.
