Multiaxis machining is defined by the motion of the cutting machine. A multiaxis machining center can move either its cutting tool or workpiece not only along the three basic linear axes (X, Y, and Z), it can also use the rotary axes (A, B, and/or C) around each of the linear axes. With Mastercam 5-axis machining, programmers can take advantage of the three linear axes and two of the rotary axes: A (rotation around the [...]
Did you know routers were first created as a solution for the cabinet industry for cutting cabinet faces out of wood? The modern router, however, comes equipped with multiaxis rotary devices and pivoting heads, making them a staple in the shops of any industry. They are now capable of cutting a variety of materials like foam, plastic, wood, aluminum, and carbon fiber. You may already be familiar with its advanced Router software solutions. Pairing with [...]

If you're looking to attend some in-person Mastercam training classes in March, Cimquest offers a great variety of classes at our various office locations. Our classrooms generally hold a maximum of 8 students and we strongly believe that our small class sizes are essential for maximum instructor/student interaction to ensure greater student success. All software enrollment classes are taught on the latest version. Here is what's on our schedule for March. Please use the button [...]
https://cimquesttv.wistia.com/medias/shn1jwnvwv?embedType=async&videoFoam=true&videoWidth=640 Select Notes for Chains In previous versions of the software, text would have to be broken down into lines, arcs and splines to be able to use them for chaining in a toolpath. Now using 2D toolpaths, we can simply select Text Notes as geometry and we're good to go!
The energy industry encompasses both renewable and nonrenewable energy sourcing and the manufacturing of the parts both need. For renewable energy resources, like hydropower and solar power, these parts could be turbine blades, brackets for mounting solar panels, and more. The nonrenewable energy industry is dominated by oil and gas, which requires components like forgings and castings. Currently, the oil and gas industry is recovering from the pandemic at a breakneck pace. Travel and work [...]
https://cimquesttv.wistia.com/medias/xxyt6cvxop?embedType=async&videoFoam=true&videoWidth=640 Morph and Parallel Toolpaths Unified toolpath allows you to select multiple pieces of input geometry to generate the toolpath pattern. Then, using those geometry choices, the toolpath picks the best algorithm to calculate the path. An example is using chains to influence the cut pattern, or two surfaces between which to morph.
