Mastercam at the 2010 Olympics

The 23 podiums used in the Vancouver 2010 Olympics were made using Mastercam software!!!
View the video here. Built by a team at the University of British Columbia’s Center for Advanced Wood Processing (CAWP), the raw lumber was sent to a millwork company, where it was dried and fabricated into panels. The panels were then sent to the manufacturing area at CAWP, where, utilizing Mastercam and machining centers, they cut more than 250 unique parts required for each podium.
