Precision CAD/CAM Systems, Inc. (PCS, Inc.) today announced that the 2003 ESPRIT Fundamentals training manual is now on sale. Using this manual, ESPRIT CAM software users will have a quick guide at their fingertips to access instruction for the latest version of the ESPRIT software from DP Technology.

Richard McMillen, a CNC Programmer at Emerson EPT said, “I have used the manual and feel this ESPRIT training manual is well written. It is easy to understand the information presented. It is organized in a manner that allows new users to open the manual to Chapter One and, by first reading the information and then doing the lab exercises, the users will begin to feel learning the very powerful ESPRIT software is not difficult. The training manual is also a great reference because it has additional tips that supplement the “Help” section of ESPRIT. The training manual helps to reduce the learning curve of ESPRIT, which allows one to become more productive quickly.”

The 2003 ESPRIT Fundamentals training manual is designed to partner with the redesigned ESPRIT 2003 software. The ESPRIT 2003 CAM system delivers CNC programming for 2–5 axis milling, 2–22 axis turning, 2–5 axis wire EDM, multitasking mill-turn machining and B-axis machine tools. A separate manual covers ESPRIT 2003’s wire EDM capabilities. There have been several improvements to the software for

ESPRIT’s version 2003 and the training manual clearly outlines what has changed and how to approach those changes from an operational standpoint. The manual takes the programmer from project beginning to end with creating geometry, modeling, surfaces, milling, machine set-up, turning and lathe programming with the ESPRIT software. Also, a modified working copy of ESPRIT is now included with the manual for educational purposes.
