Mastercam, developed by CNC Software Inc., has become the newest strategic partner of the National Coalition of Advanced Technology Centers (NCATC).
Founded in 1988, the NCATC supports a network of higher education and industry-led resources that advocates, advises and promotes the use of advanced technology applications to enhance economic and workforce development programs and services.
“Working through our network and annual conferences, we look to bridge the skills gap and appreciate the insight Mastercam can bring to that conversation,” says Toni Neary, director of education with the Haas Division of the Morris Group and board member of the NCATC.
“We are excited to be a strategic partner of NCATC and honored to be the first CAD/CAM company in a group that includes best-in-class industry partners like Haas, Verisurf, Sandvik, AMT and so many others,” says Peter Mancini, education product manager with Mastercam. “Many of our education customers are members, and we want to increase the national awareness of these advanced technology centers and their positive impact on the country’s competitiveness and economic growth.”
