CIMCO training · company programmes
Practical company training covering CIMCO Edit Core / Ultra, backplot and verification, DNC communication and production-data workflows. Existing Standard / Professional installations can also be discussed as part of a transition.
Learning goals can include more consistent NC editing, clearer programme checks and controlled transfer to CNC machines.
Typical company training modules — selected to match your software, machines and team.
01Core: NC editing, comparison and full backplot. Ultra: solid simulation, collision reporting and advanced verification.
02Milling and turning backplot, toolpath interpretation and verification practice; full physical machine-model simulation is a separate CIMCO add-on.
03Program transfer concepts, operator workflows and controlled movement of CNC data.
04Read and review supported Mazatrol program information away from the control.
05MDM, NC-Base and MDC concepts for programs, documents and machine activity.
How programmes are shaped
Before delivery, MGC can review the machines, controls, software, experience level and expected outcomes. Exercises can then reflect the type of work the team needs to understand.
Complementary next-generation learning
HoloCNC Matrix introduces WebXR/VR, digital-twin and hologram-ready CNC operator training experiences. It complements instructor-led CNC programmer and software training rather than replacing it.
