Mastercam Multiaxis: Programming Complex Toolpaths

Mastercam Multiaxis is an excellent add-on for Mastercam Mill3D software, providing users the capability to program complex toolpaths for simultaneous machining with four and five axes. This add-on leverages cutting-edge technology to maximize the potential of machine tools by allowing machining movements with more than three axes simultaneously. This feature significantly expands the complexity and diversity of the parts that can be manufactured. The Multiaxis program can be used with various machining centers, including lathes equipped with rotary tools and multitasking lathes with a B-axis, making it a valuable tool for a wide range of manufacturing processes.

Innovative Toolpath Features

Mastercam Multiaxis offers a wide range of toolpath types, including advanced five-axis toolpaths. Users can switch from one method to another effortlessly, adapting the process as needed without fear of losing machining efficiency or redefining geometry, collision checks, or transition parameters. Additionally, the software utilizes modern segmental end mills, allowing for the finishing of 3D surfaces up to 90% faster compared to traditional radius end mills. This speed improvement enables shorter manufacturing times, optimized production, and is particularly important in today's fast-paced manufacturing industry.

Fully Automatic Deburring

One of the special features of Mastercam Multiaxis is its fully automatic deburring function, which operates reliably in many situations. Deburring can be done efficiently and reliably using chamfer mills and the side of a barrel mill, speeding up the process and significantly reducing manual post-processing. This feature optimizes the production process and improves part quality by minimizing the risk of manufacturing errors.

Safe and Efficient Cutting Process

The software also offers comprehensive collision checks and safety zone solutions, ensuring safe toolpaths even in complex operations. Tool axis tilt restrictions ensure that the tool does not make marks on the workpiece, allowing for smooth machining operations. Additionally, Mastercam Multiaxis can be integrated into various platforms such as Mastercam Mill 3D, Mastercam Router 3D, and Mastercam Mill-Turn.

State-of-the-Art Technology for the Machining Industry

Mastercam Multiaxis is an essential tool for those looking to leverage the latest technology to enhance their machining processes. It allows for the control of complex 4- and 5-axis toolpaths, improves production efficiency, and expands the diversity of parts that can be manufactured. Whether it involves manufacturing a complex part, precise machining of 3D surfaces, or fast deburring processes, Mastercam Multiaxis provides solutions to a variety of manufacturing challenges.
