There are some new enhancements to the Curves commands in Mastercam 2018. The 2D/3D construction switch will determine if the curves are created on edge or projected to the current construction plane, and there are several new Selection and Filtering options available for both Curve One Edge and Curve All Edges. When curves are created on the 3D face edges in 3D mode the curves stay on the face edges. However, if you switch from [...]
There is a fairly new machine on the 3D printing scene, the Rize™ One. Capable of producing parts in a medical grade material, the Rize One sets out to eliminate the common hassles and headaches attributed to post-processing. If you've ever worked with common extrusion-based 3D printers, then you know that a part is typically not finished when it first comes off of the machine. With these systems, support material must be removed after the [...]
https://cimquesttv.wistia.com/medias/bryhnh824m?embedType=async&videoFoam=true&videoWidth=640 Introducing the first office-friendly metal 3D printing solution, the Desktop Metal Studio. Similar to FDM, this system extrudes rods that have metal powder bound within wax and plastic, in a process called Bound Metal Deposition.
By Joel Pollet, Senior Services Specialist Historically, machine shops relied on two items from their customer to fulfill a machining order; a CAD model and an inspection drawing. During my 3 ½ decades in our industry, the high-end, integrated CAD/CAM systems have always been able to convey manufacturing information from CAD to CAM or CAD to CAE. But what about CAD/CAM interfacing, such as Solidworks into Mastercam? These are two completely independent products from independent [...]

With the new Sync View option in the Mastercam Simulator, commands like pan, rotate, and zoom now register simultaneously in both the Simulator and main systems graphic view. This makes it easier to line up view positions between the two. In previous versions, commands like pan, rotate, and zoom in the Simulator had no effect on the main system graphics view. Likewise, using those same commands in the main system graphics screen would not affect [...]
