When creating a Multi-axis Curve toolpath, the tool axis control needs to be set within the toolpath. This can be controlled in a few ways: • Line • Surface • Plane • From point • To point • Chain This document will review two methods of creating lines (also called vectors) that can be used […]
For Mastercam 2017 and up When creating toolpaths, it can be difficult to chain the correct geometry if there is overlapping and duplicated geometry present. One may also notice overlapping and duplicated geometry when attempting to modify a drawing. Mastercam can help find these entities and delete them. This will make toolpathing and modifying drawings […]
Cleanup Geometry: Delete Duplicate and Find Overlapping When creating toolpaths, it can be difficult to chain the correct geometry if there is overlapping and duplicated geometry present. One may also notice overlapping and duplicated geometry when attempting to modify a drawing. Mastercam can help find these entities and delete them. This will make […]
In Mastercam X8 2D Mill toolpaths have been updated to be more stock aware, helping the dynamic motion algorithm make decisions and create better flexibility for the user. Users may no longer have to add additional geometry to represent their stock boundary. If no machining region is defined then […]
