All good signs point to creativity!

It’s a good feeling when creativity strikes; an even better one when you can see the idea materialize! Thanks to the guidance from Mastercam Teacher Lloyd Bloomfield and a power-duo of design and manufacturing software, one student from Harry Ainlay High School in Edmonton Alberta, Canada got to revel in that satisfaction.

See the Design sign in action!

 

Whether the sign for the Design Studies department was in need of replacing or not was never the question – it was getting an upgrade regardless! The back-board and gears were cut using Mastercam X5 with their CAMTECH CNC Router.

In addition to the router, the shop also boasts a Mori Seiki Mill for other projects. Lloyd has been at the helm of the manufacturing program for 11 years now and has been a Mastercam user for 14. When it comes to choosing software and curriculum, this is what he has to say:

With In-House Solutions’ training material and an easy to learn software solution like Mastercam, my students are more productive when it comes to creating fun, interesting projects year after year.        

We would like to thank Lloyd and his students for sharing this fun project with us! If your school is working on a neat project involving Mastercam, we would love to hear from you! Drop us a line at education@inhousesolutions.com or find us on twitter @IHS_education.
