The Downloads are all clearly labeled with the Mastercam version, product type, and measurement units that they support.

Once you have downloaded some files, you can explore ways to use the resources in the files. For instance, you can explore the use of stock models and multi-axis roughing techniques in the docking ring sample. Or, try a new type of tooling like the circle segment line, or test outfit a turret with tool locators to help plan a job.

As you can see, all these resources are there to help you make the most of your time and investment in Mastercam. Please be sure to sign up for our 2 Minute Tuesday video series to receive tips and tricks like this one in video form every week. More info at the button below.
