Where are the Surfcam books or file???
(OP)
I have taken a beginners Surfcam classs. The instructor was helpful but not completely knowledgeable. He actually co-authored a Surfcam book, but he could not perform a lot of functions, nor did he know when the Surfcam book would be availagle for sale.
I have searched the net for surfcam books or instruction files. I think the choices on books are limited. I did come across a university website that had the complete Surfcam 2002 instruction manual (1400 pages) in PDF.
Does anyone know of a comprehensive book for Surfcam Velocity II? Primarily for lathe programming?
thanks

SURFCAM Velocity Textbook
Westlake Village, CA – March 23, 2007 - Surfware Inc., developer of SURFCAM CAD/CAM Systems, announced today that the Maximizing SURFCAM textbook for the Velocity® Series, including SURFCAM Velocity version 3.0, will be officially unveiled at Westec 2007.
The Maximizing SURFCAM textbook is designed both for students and industrial practitioners who are new to SURFCAM, and for experienced SURFCAM users seeking to enhance their skills. The text includes background information on CNC programming and machining fundamentals, and covers all essential SURFCAM concepts and techniques required to successfully create part geometry, generate and verify toolpaths, and post process NC code. Tutorial projects are provided with step-by-step instructions throughout to make learning SURFCAM Velocity version 3.0 simple and straightforward.
“SURFCAM Velocity is one of the most powerful CAD/CAM software programs you can use to design parts, simple or complex, and generate the toolpaths to machine them. SURFCAM software has gained its popularity in the industry over the last two decades due to its extensive capabilities and ease of use. Our SURFCAM Velocity text is the best guide you can use to effectively utilize SURFCAM Velocity version 3.0 and maximize the power of SURFCAM to your advantage.” said Dr. Dave Zamora, co-author of Maximizing SURFCAM Velocity.
The book is the product of two experienced CAD/CAM/CNC professors who have more than 30 years of CAD/CAM and machining teaching experience.

Wouldn’t it have been better to post a link as to where you can buy this book? Westec was 2 months ago and there is no mention of it on their website. Amazon only shows a 7 year old book.

So far this is just propoganda to sell Surfcam, but by no means does this actually help the user.
