Mastercam India is all set to showcase the recently released CAM software, Mastercam 2018 at the upcoming Art2part 2017. Scheduled to take place on November 11-12 at Auto Cluster Exhibition Centre, Pune; Art2part will be the place for visitors to get a first look at Mastercam 2018. Mastercam 2018 offers new 2D/3D Milling features, Design improvements, great turning and Mill-Turn enhancements, and so much more.
Milling Advances
Stock awareness has been added to select 2D toolpaths and allows tool motion on the top, bottom, or both values of the stock. This provides a safer and more optimized tool motion. You can also optimize finish passes based on your rough stock, giving you more efficient and safer tool motion. The workflow for all 3D High Speed toolpaths has been streamlined and gives you fine control over exactly where to cut. High speed Hybrid toolpaths now offer smoothing controls and deliver a finer finish, requiring less handwork. You can learn more about the dozens of additional enhancements to the Milling suite at whatsnew.mastercam.com.
Expanded Turning and Mill-Turn
If you work with stringy materials such as aluminum or plastic, Mastercam’s new Chip Break control prevents problems by allowing you to set length and time conditions, retract, and dwell options. Mill-Turn machine definitions now contain tailstock and quill components, tailored to your machine.
Exclusive to Mastercam, a new set of turning strategies automate toolpath generation and support for Sandvik Coromant CoroTurn® Prime inserts and PrimeTurning™ method. PrimeTurning provides superior metal removal rate, productivity gains of over 50%, and increased tool life in a variety of materials.
New CAD Tools for the Shop Floor
Shops can model their own designs, but they also get in models that need to be corrected or prepped for machining. Mastercam’s CAD functions are designed for the machinist. Angle Sweep improves the creation of more complex wireframe functions and when creating or editing primitives, there are now on-screen sweep and rotate controls which can snap to the AutoCursor positions of existing entities. To make Roll and Unroll results easier to predict, Seam Control lets you visually rotate a seam to see how geometry will respond, as well as snap to AutoCursor positions. Hole Axis makes it easier to work with a large number of holes, especially holes with matching diameters that are selected as a group.
