Relation to AM.CO.ZA / CNC Training

Ownership / branding

Site email for contributors: softwaretraining@am.co.za
About page quote attributed to MD Eric / Ambitious Machinery (Pty) Ltd
Many tutorials explicitly brand software as AM.CO.ZA InkRIP, machines from AM.CO.ZA, and CNC purchases from AM.CO.ZA (e.g. FabriCAM setup series part on buying CNC machines).
Contact numbers in the site chrome match AM.CO.ZA sales/support/training lines (see contact-locations-request.md).

Why the site exists (from public TruCUT article)

AM.CO.ZA states that customers need to fully use the software supplied with cutting systems to earn capacity. Trial-and-error leaves features untapped and can lose production revenue. Therefore AM.CO.ZA developed softwaretraining.co.za as a dedicated repository of training/instructional videos from basics to complex topics for all skill levels.

How it complements machine purchase training

When customers buy equipment (example given: laser cutter + TruCUT RDWorks):

They receive standard operational training from AM.CO.ZA technical staff (basic machine + design software operation — described as industry-standard supplier practice).
The website then hosts extensive short video series so users can learn additional functionality in their own time, without the time constraints of a paid instructor.
Content works “hand-in-hand” with other free offerings (e.g. template libraries) to give businesses an initial boost while learning systems.

CNC / production angle

Videos are framed for a production environment, not only office apps.
Style differs from structured paid courses: presented by existing trade users with tips/shortcuts (example: TruCUT light layers, grouped cuts, language settings).
Goal stated publicly: help customers be productive and profitable with both hardware and software from AM.CO.ZA.

Earlier company ingest already listed SoftwareTraining.co.za as the free CNC software training channel (was deferred). This pass fills that gap under sources/training/.
