Several years ago, as I would peruse the local job listings I seemed to see demand for MasterCAM experience somewhat infrequently, but demand nonetheless. Nowadays, I like think I'm seeing demand for masterCAM experience a whole lot less.
I want to survey the forum and get an idea of why this might be if in fact it is true and not just a coincidence.
Some of my guesses would be:
1. it's extremely expensive and somewhat overkill for a lot of shops
2. The isn't really a need for multiple people on the floor to know masterCAM so there is usually one job per shop that requires the experience
3. Free demo software has proliferated and the experience is more widely known so it isn't highlighted in the job postings although it may exist in the shop
4. Other programming methods are becoming more competitive than the traditional and popular CAM brands
What does the demand look like in your area for MasterCAM experience? Do you see it growing or declining? And if it is declining why do you think that is?
