2009 Mastercam 3D

Certificate of completion - Precision Manufacturing Institute,

This course was a more in depth view of mastercam software. We drew 3

dimensional drawings and applied surfaces to them, we created solids.

We set roughing and finishin toolpaths to these. We determined how to

acquire specific surface finishes. And we were introduced to posting

our programs.

This was fun stuff!

2008 Mastercam 2D

Certificate of completion - Precision Manufacturing Institute,

Meadville, PA

This course was an introduction to Mastercam 10 X2 software. We went

over drawing techniques and setting tool paths to 2 dimensional

drawings.

High school diploma - Crawford County Area Vocational Technical School,

Meadville, PA

While attending high school in Saegertown, I also attended the local

vo-tech in order to obtain a background in tooling and machining. My

plans were to attend engineering school. I felt this would broaden my

background in my future field. I was accepted to Penn State Behrend. I

took my placement exams and had a schedule. I decided not to attend

when I was offered an apprenticeship by my employer.

given opportunities to troubleshoot and repair molds and dies along

with assisting in the design of these as well as production fixturing.

Along with the on the job training, I completed 8 classes

required by the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry for the

apprenticeship program. They included math classes, drafting and design
