MASTERCAM SOLIDS

Solid modelling is transforming the way parts are designed. Now you can bring that power right into your shop.

• Faster modelling of parts, moulds, and fixtures using integrated solids, surfaces and wireframe

• Greater flexibility in accepting outside models

• Solids machining with access to Mastercam's powerful CAM functions

• The addition of Solids turns Mastercam into a true hybrid modeller

Based on the industry-leading Parasolids® kernel, Mastercam Solids delivers powerful solid modelling with an eye for production. And best of all, Mastercam Solids is backed by a worldwide network of CAD/CAM professionals who know the needs of NC programmers.

Solid Modelling for Manufacturing Mastercam Solids gives you powerful, streamlined solid modelling for practical design Fast solids construction using familiar modelling techniques Powerful revolve, extrude, loft and sweep commands Easy shelling and thin-wall creation Boolean addition, subtraction and common volume calculation between solids and surfaces Fast, efficient filleting and chamfering Draft solid faces Create sheet solids that can be thickened, shelled, and more Trim solids to a single surface or to multiple surfaces using sheet solids for maximum design potential Freedom to model without part constraints Hybrid modelling interaction between solids, surfaces and wireframe

Mastercam can turn unlimited surfaces into a single solid model. You can also scan a solid body that contains no history tree for holes and fillets, adding them to the history tree as fully editable features.

Flexible Hybrid Modelling

Flexibility is crucial to efficient part design and programming. Mastercam Solids lets you mix and match modelling techniques. Need to add surface or wireframe elements to a solid? Want to quickly add solid components to a complex surface model? Now it's easy. Mastercam Solids gives you the speed of solids, the power of surfaces, and the simplicity of wireframe. You choose the right tool for the right job.

Precision Tools for Flexible Design

• Sew multiple surfaces into a single solid

• Mastercam's Solid Feature Recognition identifies features such as fillets and holes on imported solids and adds those features to the history tree

• Delete and add solid faces for easy solid modification

Solid Machining Made Easy

Mastercam Solids is a fully integrated add-on to Mastercam CAD/CAM products. When combined with Mastercam Mill, Mastercam Solids gives you the ideal way to machine your solid models. Import, create, and program your solids in the same easy-to-use interface, with full access to all Mastercam's powerful programming tools.

The Mastercam Mill / Mastercam Solids combination gives you full associativity between your model and toolpath. Make a quick change to your model, and get an updated toolpath with a single mouse click.	Solids gives you freedom unavailable with other types of modelling , such as removing your model from a solid block to create a mould.
