CNC
Software, Inc. Unveils Mastercam® X4 for SolidWorks®
at SolidWorks World 2010
Tolland, CT – SolidWorks
World 2010 will feature the latest in the line of powerful Mastercam machining
software. Stop by booth # 414 at the Anaheim Convention Center, Anaheim, CA,
January 31 - February 3, for a look at Mastercam
X4 for SolidWorks, a fully integrated CAM application that runs seamlessly
in SolidWorks. SolidWorks users can now program their parts directly within
SolidWorks using Mastercam’s industry-leading toolpaths and machining
strategies.
Mastercam for SolidWorks provides
a full suite of cutting strategies, including Feature Based Machining (FBM) and
3D High Speed Machining (HSM) toolpaths. Mastercam
for SolidWorks also delivers a powerful set of automated cleanup toolpaths,
letting you get parts off the machine faster and with little or no handwork.
Mastercam for SolidWorks
offers many benefits to both the Mastercam and SolidWorks communities alike. It
relies on familiar, shop-tested parameter screens and processes, and presents a
machining tree that provides quick access to any point in the machining
process.
In
addition to conventional 2D programming such as pocketing and contouring, Mastercam for SolidWorks offers a range
of high power machining functions:
- Dynamic
Milling creates a constantly adapting toolpath that delivers more consistent
cutting conditions and allows use of the entire tool
flute length.
- High
Speed Machining can deliver a faster turnaround and a superior finish.
- Peel
Milling assures efficient constant climb milling between two selected contours
or along a single contour. When cutting hardened material, the peel mill
toolpath allows you to use the full flute depth of the cutter and avoid taking
many shallow cuts.
There
are many more toolpaths in Mastercam for
SolidWorks. For more information, please visit
