Mastercam Showcasing
Two Major Developments at Eastec 2008
Feature Based Machining (FBM)
Mastercam’s new
Feature Based Machining automates the machining process. This offers shops dramatic
speed improvements and allows for great reductions in programming
time. Mastercam’s FBM automatically evaluates a part and programs pockets,
contours, bosses, and drilling routines with minimal user input. Even users new
to Mastercam will be able to machine 2D solid parts immediately, thanks to
FBM's ease of use and short learning curve. Mastercam’s FBM will be part of the
Mastercam X3 release, later this year.

Mastercam X2 features including:

away material, layer by layer
-
The Operations Manager pane floats to a different area of
the graphics window or to a separate screen when working with dual monitors
-
The Create Boundary function greatly expands Mastercam’s
toolpath boundary creation, restricting the toolpaths to highly specific areas
