Production Machining's February 2021 News Highlights
Esprit launches on-demand learning center, TIMTOS plans hybrid event, GWS acquires Taurus Tool & Engineering, and other industry news.
The Esprit Learning Center offers on-demand, self-paced training courses created specifically for Esprit CAM programmers.
Esprit, a provider of CAM software for CNC programming, optimization and simulation, launched an on-demand training platform, the Esprit Learning Center. Traditionally, Esprit’s applications engineers lead in-person trainings in Esprit offices and on-site at customer facilities. Unfortunately, not everyone who needs software training has the resources to travel to an Esprit office.
To support customers throughout the pandemic, Esprit began conducting instructor-led, online training sessions in early 2020. According to the company, the response was overwhelmingly positive. To further satisfy users’ growing need for high-quality online training, Esprit created the Esprit Learning Center. Read more about this online learning platform.
