What’s New in Tooling-Free Manufacturing? What could it mean to your business if you no longer needed to build jigs, fixtures, and molds? It means your engineers could design and produce end-use parts in as little as one day! If you need to print multiple versions of a part or make unique iterations binding jetting is the answer. By using binder jetting for metal 3D printing you will have the speed and accessibility to design [...]

In older Mastercam versions, you had no option to change to a new a toolpath without starting over from scratch. This new feature combines all of the major surface toolpaths into one interface, and allows you to change between methods at any time.
Mastercam Multiaxis add-on is designed to provide practical multiaxis machining strategies for simultaneous 4- and simultaneous 5-axis machining. It’s available for add-on for Mastercam Mill 3D, Mastercam Router 3D, Mastercam Mill-Turn, and Mastercam for SOLIDWORKS. Its interface is intuitive, but savvy users can maximize their multiaxis proficiency by diving into these five concepts. 1. 3 + 2 Machining 3 + 2 machining is not necessarily a standard multiaxis technique; it’s more of a stepping stone [...]
Mastercam Joining the Sandvik Group - What does it mean? You may have heard the news that CNC Software (Mastercam) has been acquired by Sandvik. Having been tightly coupled with Mastercam for over 34 years – 31 years with Cimquest and for almost 3 years prior with another reseller – you can imagine my concern with the news. I purposely held off on sending out my own personal message around this news so that I [...]
For the last 25 years, my company, Cimquest, has been representing 3D printers so it may be a bit surprising that you will find me pointing out what I feel is a very pressing issue in the industry. Not to get too political but many industries have been warped by the easy money policies of our government & Federal Reserve System. Under normal monetary conditions, startups would have to work very hard convincing investors to [...]

These techniques can be applied in a manufacturing setting to improve upon designs of fixtures, tools. They can also be applied to prototypes and speed up the iterative design process.
Hundreds of CNC programmers, CNC machinists, 3D scanning experts, 3D printing specialists, and other manufacturing professionals came together at this year’s Xpand3D event to discuss new technologies. Speaker Tom Kryger, Application Engineer and Mastercam Technical Specialist here at Cimquest, used his breakout session to explain how stock models can be invaluable tools for the CNC programmer. For Kryger, using stock models is a consistent part of his regular workflow, as these visual aids help to [...]
