Mastercam Port Expert

Mastercam Port Expert is an add-on specifically designed for machining channel-like structures. This software is used to enhance tool axis control in challenging areas such as automotive parts. It allows for the quick and easy creation of machining paths for complex channels, like cylinder heads and deep pockets.

Port Expert produces an accurate and efficient machining motion based on either surface models or solid geometry. This reduces unnecessary machine movements, resulting in an excellent quality finish. The machining motion can be restricted to operate only at both ends of the channel or extend to both ends, seamlessly meeting in the middle. This ensures a smooth transition when cut motions meet in the center of the channel.

Port Expert works seamlessly with Mastercam Mill 3D and Mastercam Router 3D. Users simply need to define the shape of the channel, avoid potentially harmful geometry, and set tool and machining parameters, and Port Expert handles the rest. Creating the geometry of channels, such as engine intake and exhaust channels, as well as rotational channels for pumps and compressor chambers, is easy with Port Expert.

One of the key benefits of Mastercam Port Expert is its ability to automate the machining path creation process. With just a few clicks, the software can generate the necessary machining paths for part machining, saving time and reducing errors. The software also includes collision checking and simulation features, allowing the user to test and refine the machining process before actual machining.

Whether you're an experienced machinist or just beginning with CNC machining, Mastercam Port Expert is a powerful tool that helps streamline your workflow and achieve better results. It specializes in multi-axis programming for channels, reduces unnecessary movement, and ensures high-quality finishes. It is also suitable for machining other tubular structures.
