What is the course
Course Overview
The CATIA V5 Machining training course covers both standard and advanced machining techniques over 5 days.
This course will teach you how to use various functionalities common across all the Machining workbenches in CATIA. It will teach you the fundamentals of creating and simulating a Manufacturing Program.
This course will teach you how to define and manage NC programs to machine parts using prismatic machining techniques in the prismatic machining (PMG) workbench. You will learn to create 2.5 axis milling operations. You will also learn to use the PMG functionalities to create prismatic machining and rework areas. This course will teach you how to define and manage NC programs dedicated to machining parts that are designed with Surface or Solid geometry. You will learn how to define 3-Axis Roughing, Semi-finishing and Finishing operations.
The course will also help you to improve productivity in mould and die machining using various functionalities of 3-Axis Surface Machining. This course teaches you how to generate high quality NC programs for machining complex 3D parts and free-form shapes using advanced machining techniques. You will learn how to perform 2.5 to 5-Axis machining operations and Axial Machining. This course teaches you how to create high quality NC programs for machining complex 3D parts and free-form shapes using Multi-Axis machining techniques. The course also teaches you to define 5-Axis machining operations.

Training Methods
Choose from three different training methods available to you
Group / Classroom Training
Receive CATIA V5 Machining training in a group in a traditional classroom environment. Courses can be taken in one of our training locations in the UK, Ireland, US or Canada using DS approved training content and methodologies.
Advantages
- Cost effective training method.
- Leave the office to concentrate on learning.
- Learn more through group questions and feedback.
Live Online Training
With online training you will experience an interactive learning environment where you can give feedback, gain access to the training files and get time to work on training exercises.
Advantages
- Online courses can maximise convenience and save on travel expenses.
- More effective than video based training, with recorded videos learners are often not as focused on the training and skip exercises.
On-Site Training
Receive training at your place of work. This style of flexible training is perfect for teams or individuals who are faced with a specific challenge and require personalized courses with on-the-job coaching.
Advantages
- Use our state-of-the-art mobile classroom at your facility.
- Bring your team up to a consistent level of knowledge by having them take the same training at the same time.
- Benefit from flexible scheduling options.
