One of our customers was recently faced with the challenge of needing to machine a complex engine port shape without a CAD model, having a circular cross-section on one end, oval on the other and was bent 90 degrees Due to the bend, the port would also need to be machined, from both ends. Below is a cross section of a similar port with a porting cutter positioned to check the depth we could reach, [...]
Design X Go – From an Engine Port to a Port Expert Toolpath | 2 Minute Tuesday In this week’s 2 Minute Tuesday, we take a look at the steps it takes to build a CAD model in Design X Go that is suitable for Mastercam's Port Expert Toolpath, starting from a physical part.

Batch Processing in Control X Professional This month, we continue to explore the Control X Professional Automation tools. Last month, we took a look at the Airfoil Analysis tool. This month, we focus on Batch Processing. Batch processing enables the user to create an inspection plan using a nominal CAD model and can then automatically assign the same inspection criteria to any number of scans, located on the user’s network. [...]
Control X Pro – Batch Processing | 2 Minute Tuesday In this week's 2 Minute Tuesday, we demonstrate how Control X Professional can inspect many scans against a nominal CAD model while unmanned by using the Batch Processing tool. Or watch and subscribe on YouTube ➤ https://youtu.be/T_bE1y2EO_g
