Mastercam 5-Axis Curve

Mastercam 5-Axis Curve - The Enhancer of Multiaxis Machining

Mastercam 5-Axis Curve is an add-on that extends the Mastercam Mill license with multiaxis curve machining and drilling features that are familiar from the Multiaxis add-on. This add-on helps in better utilizing the capabilities offered by multiaxis machines, enabling precise cutting according to the complex curve edges while maintaining the correct angle and contact of the tool.

Starting Point for Multiaxis Machining

5-Axis Curve Machining is an excellent starting point for transitioning into multiaxis machining. It is compatible with almost any 5-axis machine and equips them with predefined, tested machining methods. The strengths of the add-on are logical tool movements, smooth transitions, and strong vector control, making it a safe choice for components requiring more complex machining paths.

Efficiency and Flexibility

5-Axis Curve Machining optimizes how the tool interacts with the material being machined, ensuring a controlled and safe work process. This leads to better surface quality and shorter production cycles. Meanwhile, multiaxis drilling enables drilling holes from different angles with a single setup, saving time and increasing productivity.

Cutting and Trimming

The add-on allows for cutting complex three-dimensional outlines with 5-axis motion. This is particularly useful in 5-axis trimming operations where 3D chains, surfaces, or solid edges are used as the basis for machining paths.

User Friendliness and Easy Integration

Mastercam allows opening any CAD file, making it easy to model and prepare parts quickly. There is no need to recreate parts from scratch, so you can manage everything in Mastercam. This brings flexibility and enhances the handling of parts.
