Exploring the Mastercam Add-Ons

By |2023-12-18T08:18:03-05:00December 18th, 2023|Categories: Mastercam|0 Comments

Mastercam CAD/CAM software is a self-contained, fully capable NC-coding program for manufacturing applications. Within its main solution products, like Mill and Lathe, most users can program any part that comes across their desk. In some cases, however, processes can be streamlined or precision boosted with outside help. That’s where Mastercam Add-Ons come into play. Mastercam Add-Ons are software extensions that deliver additional Mastercam functions. Each has its own specialized function and is designed to help [...]

Mastercam Wireframes, Surfaces, and Solids – What are They?

By |2023-12-11T08:42:17-05:00December 11th, 2023|Categories: Mastercam|0 Comments

In most cases – and especially when a customer has provided only a description or 2D drawing of a part – the first step in the machining process is to build a digital model of the desired part. This model will be a precise, virtual 3D representation of the part’s dimensions, planes, and contours. In CAD (computer-aided design) programming, there are three main types of models: wireframe, surface, and solid. Each has its own strengths [...]

Using the Mastercam 2023 Drill Toolpath

By |2023-12-04T08:45:20-05:00December 4th, 2023|Categories: Mastercam, Tech Tips|0 Comments

This blog post will explore how to use the Mastercam 2023 Drill toolpath. This new toolpath will allow you to edit toolpath motion for any single selected entity in that operation. Typically, when using Drill and working with a solid, you can use the Calculate incremental values from holes or line option. This allows you to have multiple depths in a single operation. When you only have wireframe geometry this can be a little trickier [...]
