There is an exciting new development in the Mastercam 2017 stock model operation. In previous versions, cuts made with C-axis lathe toolpaths or true milling toolpaths would not update the lathe stock. Now in Mastercam 2017, stock awareness has been fully integrated by allowing the stock model operation to update the lathe stock definition. If you have a lathe facing operation using a fixed tool followed by a contour and a drilling operation that both [...]

What’s in your toolbox? For Cyclone Racing, an automotive racing team from Iowa State University (ISU), it’s 3D printing. These students are discovering the benefits of additive manufacturing while having fun competing in the famous Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) International Formula car competition. In the Formula SAE competition, students are instructed to design, build and then test their open-wheel racecar, which will then be raced against other collegiate teams. Students 3D printed the [...]
http://cimquesttv.wistia.com/medias/ljeixuj8m3?embedType=async&videoFoam=true&videoWidth=640 In Mastercam 2017 you can dynamically edit tool projection in the graphics window by snapping the tool to part geometry and dragging the holder along the tool to align it. This makes it easier than ever to visualize a crucial part of the job set up process.
Today we are going to explain two new features now available in Mastercam 2017 2D high speed toolpaths - Toolpath Preview and Preview Chains. In previous versions of Mastercam, you would have to click OK in Toolpath Parameters and then regenerate to see results. Now in 2017, you can click Toolpath Preview before exiting to see what the toolpath looks like. Also, with the new preview chains function, you can evaluate your machining regions more [...]

Let’s explore how to reverse engineer a variable fillet from a polygonal mesh . . . When reverse engineering a physical model, radius values can be measured with various types of radius gauges. It can be somewhat of a challenge if the fillet face is worn, chipped, or distorted. In addition, the task becomes more complex if the fillet is not constant, that is, if it varies along the edge like the mouse shown below. [...]
