Mastercam X's latest maintenance release, MR1, includes various new capabilities, such as added high speed machining tool paths, holder definition, the release of Mastercam X and more.
Seven high speed surface machining (HST) tool paths--two roughing and five finishing paths--have been incorporated into the release, including an interface for toolpath creation. These added types are tailored to high speed machining while offering smooth cutting motion and smooth entry/exits, says Mastercam/CNC Software. The high speed tool paths include core roughing, area clearance, waterline, scallop, horizontal area, raster and an enhanced pencil tool path.
Using the release, operators can define a holder (or select one from a library) and gouge-check the holder during toolpath generation. The holder definition can be used to detect possible toolpath gouges.
This release is now available to all maintenance customers. SP2, a service pack release, is also available to those who do not participate in the maintenance program.
