What Streamingteacher does

Streamingteacher, Inc. is a privately held Oregon corporation that operates a subscription-based online video training platform dedicated exclusively to Mastercam CAD/CAM software. Founded in 2004 in partnership with MCAM Northwest (a Mastercam reseller in Milwaukie, Oregon) and launched with the approval of CNC Software (Mastercam's creator), the company has built a searchable library of more than 650 HD videos equal to approximately 160 classroom hours, covering six consecutive Mastercam versions (2018-2023) and topics spanning Interface/Design, Solids, Mill/Router, Lathe, Multiaxis, and Mill-Turn. The platform also distributes the free Mastercam Home Learning Edition as a companion download and exposes a long-form "Presentations" library for advanced techniques.

The business runs on three subscription tiers: an individual Pro subscription at $30/month or $240/year, a Team subscription under a Team Leader account for manufacturing employers, and free Pro access for verified Mastercam educators gated by an orientation webinar. Customers are primarily individual CNC programmers (hobbyists, students, working machinists), manufacturing SMBs seeking to upskill programming staff, and community colleges/technical schools supplementing classroom instruction. Marketing is largely content- and SEO-driven via the website and video library, supported by an email newsletter and webinar-based educator outreach. The company self-describes as "the online training solution for Mastercam users all over the world," with operational reach spanning at least the United States, Canada, and South Africa.

The defining strategic fact is that Streamingteacher has publicly announced retirement of the platform on August 31, 2026, with all Mastercam training content migrating to SolidProfessor and current individual members receiving equivalent SolidProfessor memberships at no additional cost. This converts what was a long-running content subscription business into a planned wind-down and content transition, rather than an ongoing standalone growth vehicle.

• Coursera: Coursera partners with universities and companies to deliver online learning, including engineering and manufacturing tracks. It is comparable as a subscription-based online learning platform serving professional and educational buyers.
• Udemy: Udemy is a global creator-led online course marketplace with CAD/CAM and manufacturing courses, addressing the same self-directed individual learner use case via a subscription/all-access model.
• LinkedIn Learning: LinkedIn Learning (formerly Lynda.com) offers a subscription-based all-access library of video courses including CAD/CAM topics. It competes for the same professional upskilling budget and self-serve subscription buyer that Streamingteacher targets.

Emerging players

• IntuitiveCAM: IntuitiveCAM focuses on Mastercam training content and macro/toolpath automation resources, addressing the same niche CNC programming audience with similar video-based learning products.
