Experience the Power of Mastercam X2 Design.

Mastercam is the most commonly used CAD/CAM software worldwide* and remains the program of choice among CNC programmers. Mastercam X2 is the next generation of our popular program, delivering a new simplified, customizable interface with more power, and CAD tools designed for the NC programmer. Included with most Mastercam CAM packages, Mastercam X2 Design is also available as a stand-alone package.

What Mastercam X2 Design Delivers:

Efficient Wireframe Geometry

• Multiple point and line creation techniques.
• Efficient arc, circle, and fillet functions, including filleting at every corner in a chain of entities.
• Create splines on surfaces using a variety of functions including surface projections, surface intersections, edge curves, slicing curves, and parting lines.
• Create pre-filleted shapes to save time.

Flexible Geometry Editing

• Change widths, styles, and colors globally or for a single entity.
• Quickly modify parameters such as line length and arc radius after creation.
• Fillet or chamfer corners easily.
• Extend lines, arcs, splines, and surfaces.
• Trim single or multiple surfaces with full undo capability.
• Quickly translate, mirror, and scale (uniformly or with separate factors in X, Y, and Z).
• Offset entities by a given distance.

Powerful Surface Modeling

• Create parametric and NURBS surfaces using loft, ruled, revolved, swept, draft, and offset creation methods.
• "Fence” and “net” surfaces expand your modeling power.
• Trim single and multiple surfaces to curves, planes and surfaces.
• Easily extend and split surfaces.
• New “smart” extension for trimmed surfaces avoids pitfalls with traditional trimmed surface extension.
• Flexible surface filleting offers constant radius fillets and point-and-click variable radius fillets.
• Automatic parting line calculation for mold making.
• Create, edit, and manipulate realistically shaded surface models.

Easy Drafting Tools

• One-pick dimensioning.
• Modify dimensional geometry and its dimensions automatically update.
• Easily drag and place drafting notes as they are being created and change their attributes on the fly.

File Management and Data Exchange

• Built-in data translators for IGES, Parasolid®, SAT (ACIS solids), AutoCAD® (DXF, DWG, and Inventor TM files), SolidWorks®, Solid Edge®, STEP, EPS, CADL, STL, VDA, and ASCII. Direct translators for CATIA®, Pro/E®, and more are also available.
• Special no-charge Mastercam Direct add-ons put Mastercam in your SolidWorks, Solid Edge, or AutoCAD Inventor toolbars.
• Save a description of your files for easier browsing and loading.
• View files before opening them.
  

Selection Options

• AutoCursorTM snaps to commonly used points to simplify construction.
• Smart chaining selects an entire chain of entities at once and automates other selection tasks.

Geometry Analysis

• Instantly analyze any entity for size, location, entity type, and other attributes.
• Check the integrity of surface models and trimmed surface boundaries.
