The Winged Victory or Nike of Samothrace is a statue prominently featured in The Louvre Museum in Paris, France. Mastercam recently teamed up with YASDA Precision, Mitsubishi Materials, and Methods Machine Tools to create an 11-inch replication of the famed 18-foot statue. Within Mastercam, the statue is a mesh file with over five million facets and was 10 gigabytes in size. Mastercam took the part from a raw piece of stock all the way to [...]
Just like there’s no one tool to fit every job, 3D printing isn’t a panacea that’s right for every job either. And while the benefits of binder jet 3D printing can often be measured – customers routinely reduce the weight of their parts by 30 – 40% using our technology – much of the return on investment (ROI) of binder jetting lies in the complex intangibles and specific applications, or where one operates in the supply chain. [...]
In this week's 2 Minute Tuesday, we are going to examine how you can transition from a mesh model to a voxel model in Oqton's Freeform Plus. Specifically, we will import a mesh file of a leg into the software, convert it into a clay model, also known as a voxel model, and demonstrate some of the Deform Shape tools within the product.
In part one of this blog series, we discussed what Mastercam Add-Ons are (specialized aftermarket software kits that work within the Mastercam interface) and covered four of the most commonly used Add-Ons: Multiaxis, Productivity+, Port Expert, and Mastercam Art.
