A Mastercam programmer sets up, programs, and adjusts CNC manufacturing machinery and CAM computer software. Your responsibilities include designing tools and fixtures for improved machining, understanding speeds/feeds of tools and their effect on manufacturing cycle time, and providing support to each machinist. You actively search for process improvement opportunities, while keeping production standards and safety as top priorities. Other duties include staying updated on industry trends and incorporating developing technologies to improve manufacturing processes. Some employers require you to run studies on cost reduction and provide recommendations. You work with engineers, supervisors, and other shop personnel to resolve machining and quality issues.
| Aspect | Mastercam Programmer | CNC Machinist |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | Often requires CAD/CAM software training, certifications in Mastercam | High school diploma or equivalent, on-the-job training |
| Work Environment | Designing and programming CNC machines, typically in manufacturing settings | Operating CNC machines, setting up and running production |
| Industry Usage | Used in manufacturing, aerospace, automotive for programming CNC tools | Found in similar industries, focusing on machine operation and setup |
The Mastercam Programmer specializes in creating CNC programs using CAD/CAM software, focusing on programming and toolpath design. In contrast, the CNC Machinist operates and sets up CNC machines based on those programs. While both roles work closely in manufacturing, the Mastercam Programmer is more software-focused, whereas the CNC Machinist emphasizes machine operation and production.
