Manual deburring and edge finishing slow production, raise labor costs, and reduce consistency. However, by automating the process, you can streamline operations and improve quality.
The Deburring Challenge
Burrs aren’t just an inconvenience—they’re a genuine problem that impacts your entire operation. These unwanted protrusions prevent proper workpiece alignment in fixtures, compromise surface finish quality, and create safety hazards. For machine shops focused on maximizing productivity and minimizing costs, manual deburring represents a significant bottleneck that eats into profitability.
The traditional approach of hand deburring is labor-intensive and inconsistent. Programming complex deburring toolpaths manually is time-consuming and requires expertise that many shops struggle to maintain. Furthermore, advanced multiaxis solutions often carry high licensing costs, making them inaccessible for many operations.
Introducing Mastercam Deburr
Mastercam Deburr is a comprehensive 3-axis Add-On solution designed to transform how you handle edge treatment and deburring. Available for Mill, Mill 3D, Router, Router 3D, and Mill-Turn users via CONNECT subscription, it delivers pro results.
Active Mastercam CONNECT users get free access to the Deburr Add-On as long as you keep your Maintenance plan active. That means no additional licensing fees—just enhanced capability that’s already included with your subscription.
What makes Mastercam Deburr different?
The solution leverages intelligent deburr cycles in a familiar 3-axis environment, using simplified controls that your team already understands. Automatic edge detection dramatically reduces programming time, while support for multiple tool types—including Chamfer Mill, Dove Mill, Ball Mill, Lollipop Mill, and Taper Mill with Full Radius—gives you flexibility across various machining strategies.
Real Benefits for Your Shop
Save Time and Labor
Automatic edge detection and streamlined programming mean less time at the computer and virtually no time spent with files and scrapers. What once took hours of manual work now happens automatically during the machining cycle.
Achieve Precision Consistently
Meet exact tolerances and edge specifications every time. The multiple pass functionality allows you to take several passes with ball mills to form precise chamfers and rounds, ensuring repeatability that manual methods simply cannot match.
Optimize Your Tooling Investment
With support for a wide range of tool geometries and the ability to use tools you already have, Mastercam Deburr helps you maximize your existing tooling resources without requiring specialized deburring equipment.
Improve Part Quality
Programmed, consistent edge treatment ensures superior surface finishes, precise fixture alignment, and parts that meet specifications right off the machine, reducing rework and inspection time. By minimizing manual handling, you also lower the risk of damage or dimensional variation, helping you deliver higher-quality parts faster and more reliably, with fewer touchpoints and great throughput.
Easy Integration, Immediate Results
One of the most compelling aspects of Mastercam Deburr is how easily it fits into your existing workflow. If you’re already running Mastercam 2D or 3D Mill, Router, or Mill-Turn products with CONNECT, adding deburring capabilities requires no dramatic changes to your processes or extensive retraining of your team.
The solution works within the environment your programmers already know, eliminating the learning curve that often accompanies new software implementations. This means you can start seeing benefits almost immediately after deployment.
