Dynamic
Machining in Mastercam X4
Tolland, CT – CNC Software’s
latest release, Mastercam X4, provides expanded machining flexibility and an
increased emphasis on speed and automation with a suite of new toolpaths and
techniques, including the new Dynamic Machining cutting motion.
Dynamic Machining creates a constantly
adapting toolpath that delivers more consistent cutting conditions and allows
use of the entire tool flute length, saving both time and money. The toolpath
is specially designed to take a full depth cut in, often eliminating the need
for multiple depth cuts.
Dynamic Machining also
offers flexible retract options to keep the tool down in smaller parts, as well
as rapid retract on larger parts. In addition, the special “micro lift” option
will retract the tool slightly off the bottom when moving to the next cut. This
decreases the amount of heat generated in the part and also helps with chip
evacuation.
Highly efficient entry
methods along with customizable entry speeds and feeds, give you flexibility
regardless of the material or cutter style being used. Dynamic Machining’s
specialized motion works equally well with both “closed” and “open” parts.
