Also, the program handles stock recognition that trims toolpaths to eliminate air-cuts and reduce cycle times and custom applications for machining cylinder heads and converting probe data to machinable geometry. Mastercam’s Multiaxis machining has several toolpath types to govern the cut pattern including curve wireframe for trimming operations swarf fanning and swarf machining over multisurface floors, plus rail swarf cutting for added control and multisurface 5-axis roughing and finishing, including depth cuts, plunge roughing, and flow line machining and drilling. The Mastercam family of machining program offers a range of basic and advanced multiaxis machining strategies, giving programmers complete control over the three crucial elements of multiaxis machining – cut pattern, tool axis control, and collision control.Ĭut patterns guide the tool along specified paths, which may be simple 2D and 3D wireframe, solid primitives (for example, box, cylinder, or sphere), or complex multisurface grids. is introducing a unified interface and streamlined workflow for generating multiaxis toolpaths in the latest release for its Mastercam family of machining programs, Mastercam X5. Noting that multiaxis machining can result in significant improvements in a shop’s competitiveness, CNC Software Inc.

CNC Software’s newest release presents numerous multiaxis machining strategies, giving programmers complete control over the three crucial elements of multiaxis machining – cut pattern, tool axis control, and collision control.
