Mastercam Deburr is transforming how machine shops handle one of the most essential—but often overlooked—tasks in manufacturing: deburring. Traditionally, a manual process requiring dedicated stations or departments, deburring is now faster, smarter, and fully integrated into your CAM workflow thanks to Mastercam.
What Is Mastercam Deburr?
Mastercam Deburr offers a specialized toolpath that automatically removes sharp edges and burrs from machined parts. Instead of transferring parts to a separate deburring station, operators complete this step directly on the machine, saving time, reducing labor, and improving consistency.
Why Deburring Matters
Deburring is critical for:
- Safety: Sharp edges can be hazardous to operators and end users.
- Functionality: Burrs can interfere with part fit and performance.
- Quality: A clean finish reflects precision and professionalism.
How Mastercam Deburr Works
In the latest Show Me video available to Mastercam CONNECT users on myMastercam, the process is demonstrated step-by-step:
- Select the Deburring Tool
A Chamfer Mill is used in the example, but other tools can be selected based on geometry and material.
- Choose Machining Geometry
The entire part is selected, with options to exclude specific edges.
- Avoid Fixtures and Hardware
Users can define areas to avoid, ensuring safe and accurate toolpaths.
- Define Edge Shape
A chamfer is applied to shape the deburred edges.
- Simulate the Toolpath
Mastercam Deburr quickly processes both 2D and 3D edges, avoiding holding geometry and delivering a clean, finished part.
