Mastercam at Eastec 2008

By Design World Staff | March 24, 2008

Share



West Springfield, MA — Eastec 2008 features the unveiling of two major developments in CNC Software’s Mastercam® CAD/CAM software. Attendees will get the first look at Mastercam’s new Feature Based Machining (FBM) as well as the Mastercam in SolidWorks add-in. Both will be showcased in booth # 5245 at the Big E Fairgrounds in West Springfield, MA on May 20-22.


Feature Based Machining (FBM)


Mastercam’s new Feature Based Machining automates the machining process. This offers shops dramatic speed improvements and allows for great reductions in programming time. Mastercam’s FBM automatically evaluates a part and programs pockets, contours, bosses, and drilling routines with minimal user input. Even users new to Mastercam will be able to machine 2D solid parts immediately, thanks to FBM's ease of use and short learning curve. Mastercam’s FBM will be part of the Mastercam X3 release, later this year.


Mastercam in SolidWorks

Mastercam in SolidWorks is fully integrated CAM that runs seamlessly in SolidWorks. SolidWorks users can now program their parts for machining directly within SolidWorks using Mastercam’s industry-leading toolpaths and machining strategies. Mastercam in SolidWorks will be available after the release of Mastercam X3.


Mastercam’s latest release will also be demonstrated in the booth. Stop by to learn about the Mastercam X2 features including:

-Many powerful multiaxis enhancements included in the advanced multiaxis toolpaths
-The new Peel Milling toolpath moves the tool in and “peels” away material, layer by layer
-The Operations Manager pane floats to a different area of the graphics window or to a separate screen when working with dual monitors
-The Create Boundary function greatly expands Mastercam’s toolpath boundary creation, restricting the toolpaths to highly specific areas
-Common edge optimization in nesting

    It amazes me to see how much technology advances and how many things are done online and through computers. I think that machine automating is something that is becoming more and more important in these days. Because more and more companies are making technological advances, computer machining is becoming more important.
