Mastercam 2023 v25.0.14245.10 for SolidWorks
By analyzing the part for the presence of specific geometry elements (surface, size, hole location, etc.), the FBM function automatically creates an effective processing strategy for recognized elements. Among the main functions, the following should be noted: * Facing in the case of an allowance above the surface of the part.
- Handling open, nested, and pass-through pockets
- The trajectory of roughing and additional processing for each pocket
- Recognizing holes and creating centering, drilling, unfolding, chamfering, and threading operations according to predetermined criteria
- Rough and fair 3D processing, including additional processing
- The core sample effectively removes the bulk stock
High-speed processing (VSO) provides the technology for the fastest processing and obtaining excellent surface quality products. Mastercam for SolidWorks includes a set of fully associative high-speed machining paths that allow you to maximize the power of your CNC equipment.
- The “Basic Sampling” and “Cleaning the Area” strategies effectively remove the main volume of the allowance due to the use of trajectories that can be adjusted to “peel” the workpiece or “gnaw” the material from the cavities
- The “Additional Processing” strategy smoothly removes the stock remaining from previous rough passes.
- Using a constant 3D step between the aisles, the finishing “Comb” strategy forms the same surface quality (roughness) on the inclined and flat surfaces of the part.
- The “Horizontal areas” finishing strategy quickly processes flat horizontal surfaces of a part.
- “Spiral,” “Radial,” and “Raster”
- The “pencil” strategy creates tool movements along the intersection lines of the faces of a solid to process hard-to-reach areas of the part.
Practical tools for creating control programs and trajectory control The tool path is only part of what forms a suitable control program. Total path control and machine and CNC settings optimize each operation as much as possible.
- Complete control of all aspects of the tool inlet and outlet
- Security zones help to ensure the safety of tool retraction movements when working with any path
- Significant reduction in program size through the use of a trajectory filter
- Use of all types of tools: ball, disc, angle, etc
- User-configurable tools and material libraries automatically calculate feed rates and spindle speeds.
- The Trajectory Manager stores the operations of all your projects in one place. Fast creation, editing, and verification of trajectories or copying and pasting parameters from one operation to another. Using equipment groups to organize operations and simplify copying/pasting toolpaths and tool information from one machine group to another
