Mastercam’s streamlined CAD engine makes design work easier than ever before. Each piece of geometry you create is “live”, letting you quickly modify it until it’s exactly what you want. And with traditional functions consolidated into a few simple clicks, Mastercam simplifies the creation of even the most complex parts.
- Fast creation of a wide range of NURBS and parametric surfaces, including powerful “fence”
and “net” surfaces.
- Associative dimensions update as you change your model.
- Extensive editing tools, including powerful new surface extension.
Every shop faces engineering changes. Often, it can be difficult to track which file is the latest, what modifications have been made, and what programming changes are needed.
Mastercam X3 includes two powerful new tools – File Tracking and Change Recognition – that give you an easy way to identify these issues and streamline programming an updated file.
- Create a checklist of files to watch including Mastercam, SolidWorks, Autocad, or other CAD files. Mastercam alerts you when a newer version of any file on the list is available.
- Mastercam’s Change Recognition identifies modifications to any type of CAD geometry with
no file type limitations – any combination of wireframe, solids, or surfaces.
- Mastercam marks any toolpaths affected by the updated CAD file. You can quickly select
the new geometry and update the toolpaths.
- Once you update an affected toolpath, automatically update any additional toolpaths that
use that geometry.
High Speed Machining
High speed Machining is a powerful machining method that combines high feed rates with high spindle speeds, specific tools, and specific tool motion. It can deliver faster turnaround and a superior finish. Mastercam includes a suite of high speed functions designed to help you make the most of this powerful technique.
