CNC Software, Inc. to Spotlight Mastercam X9 at EASTEC
May 1, 2015
"The most powerful Mastercam machining software yet will be on display at EASTEC in booth #5249," said a company spokesperson. The event will take place at the Eastern States Exposition in West Springfield, MA, May 12-14. Mastercam X9 introduces Dynamic Motion improvements, multi-axis enhancements and many design and system features.
Dynamic Motion Technology
"Dynamic Motion toolpaths follow a proprietary and sophisticated set of rules that take into consideration a broad data set," said the spokesperson. "To create the most efficient cutting motion possible, Dynamic toolpaths calculate not only the area where metal will be removed, but they also take into account the changing condition of the material throughout various stages of machining."
Design Features
Dynamic Xform allows users to switch between gnomon manipulation and geometry manipulation mode at any time without having to reselect geometry. Solid Disassemble is a new Model Prep function that takes an assembly and lays each body out in a single pane. "With Mastercam X9, the associativity between solids and toolpaths has been greatly improved," said the spokesperson. "Now when bodies are edited, only the toolpaths directly affected by the change in the solid body are marked dirty."
Multi-Axis Improvements
The new Multiaxis Link is designed to ensure that reposition moves between 2- through 5-axis operations are safe and collision-free. Multiaxis Link is an operation that takes a list of toolpath operations and a safety zone shape as input. Mastercam X9 introduces improved processing logic for advanced multi-axis toolpaths. Select multi-axis toolpaths now process in the Multi-Threading Manager, designed to streamline 2- through 5-axis workflow experience.
Additional Features of Mastercam X9
- Preview Toolpaths support for select Mill operations to see results before closing the toolpath parameters dialog
- Surface High Speed Hybrid now supports dedicated flat processing, offering intelligence and efficiency
- The efficiency of the 3D HST Rest Roughing Linking has been improved - moves are closer to the model, eliminating excessive air motion
- Mill Tooling introduces two new tool types as well as changes to two existing tools.
