Fully integrated probing solution for optimal part quality and workflow efficiency.
Program Any Touch Probe Directly in Mastercam
Break free from single vendor probing and program any touch probe directly in Mastercam. Mastercam Probing automatically generates and inserts the machine-independent G-code directly in your NC program. Use Mastercam Probing to improve part quality, increase productivity, and reduce setup time.
Explore Mastercam Probing
Unlock the power of precision with our Mastercam Probing Video Library, a curated collection of quick demos that show you exactly how to set work offsets using Renishaw Inspection Plus. Whether you are new to probing or looking to sharpen your skills, these videos deliver actionable insights in minutes.
Probe to ensure the accurate setup of stock material. Visualize and validate probing moves before cutting.
During machining
Probe to measure the geometry of the semi-finished part and dynamically compensate for topographic irregularities. Mastercam Probing will warn you or stop the machine if a defined tolerance is exceeded.
After machining
Probe to measure the accuracy of the finished part to verify its dimensions before unclamping.
Mastercam Probing Features
Works with popular brands
Mastercam Probing works with popular CNC probe brands such as Renishaw, Blum-Novotest and Heidenhain.
Multi-language support
Mastercam Probing is available in English and German. Support for more languages is on the roadmap.
Create cycles from CAD model
Program probing cycles directly off the same CAD model used for toolpathing and other Mastercam operations. Full associativity ensures the probepath is updated with geometry changes.
User-friendly interface
As a fully integrated add-on, Mastercam Probing will be familiar and intuitive to any Mastercam user. Full access to standard right-click menus, Auto-cursor selection tools and mouse wheel scrolling for easy changes.
Predefined probe cycles
Includes a wide range of predefined and fully customizable probe cycles for most measurement needs. Point at any cycle parameter, and a dynamic diagram shows exactly what the parameter controls.
Build your own cycles
Use the powerful Cycle Builder in Mastercam Probing to create your own custom cycles or extend existing cycles.
Inspect
All probe movements can be conveniently visualized and verified using Mastercam’s Backplot, Verify and Machine Simulation. Ensure that your probe tool remains undamaged during machining. Probe tool collisions can be detected and resolved before the program is machined.
Continuous improvement
Mastercam Probing is actively being developed, and new versions, including new functionality, are released at short intervals.
Localized support network
Mastercam Probing is supported by a global network of channel partners who provide the highest level of service to customers in their local language and time zone.
"As someone who has spent a lot of time writing probing cycles and macros by hand, I can say that my experience with Mastercam probing has been phenomenal. It has given programmers I have worked with the capability to do easy in process checks and datum pickups even without knowing how to hand write macro statements."
