Mastercam 5-Axis Curve
Mastercam 5-Axis Curve for Enhancing Multiaxis Machining
The Mastercam 5-Axis Curve is an add-on that expands the capabilities of the Mastercam Mill license with multiaxis curve machining and drilling features familiar from the Multiaxis add-on. This add-on helps to better utilize the features offered by multiaxis machines, allowing for precise cutting along complex curve edges while maintaining the correct angle and contact of the tool.
5-Axis Curve Machining is an excellent starting point for transitioning to multiaxis machining. It is compatible with almost any 5-axis machine and equips them with predefined, tested machining methods. The add-on's strengths include logical tool movements, smooth transitions, and strong vector control, making it a safe choice for parts requiring more complex machining paths.
5-Axis Curve Machining optimizes how the tool interacts with the machined material, ensuring a controlled and safe work process. This leads to better surface quality and shorter production cycles. Meanwhile, multiaxis drilling enables the drilling of holes from different angles with a single setup, saving time and increasing productivity.
The add-on allows for cutting complex three-dimensional contours with 5-axis movement, particularly useful in 5-axis trimming operations where 3D chains, surfaces, or solid edges are used as the basis for machining paths.
Mastercam allows opening any CAD file, making it easy to model and prepare parts quickly. There's no need to recreate parts from scratch, so you can manage everything in Mastercam. This enhances flexibility and efficiency in handling parts.
