Mastercam Port Expert - Efficient Tool for cylinder head porting

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

Precise and Efficient Machining

Port Expert produces precise and efficient machining movements based on either surface models or solid geometry. This reduces unnecessary machine movements, leading to an excellent quality finish. The machining movement can be limited to operate only at each end of the channel or extend to both ends, seamlessly meeting in the middle. This ensures a smooth transition when cutting movements meet in the center of the channel.

Collaboration and Compatibility

Port Expert works seamlessly with Mastercam Mill 3D and Mastercam Router 3D. The user only needs to define the shape of the channel, avoid potentially harmful geometry, and set tool and machining parameters, and Port Expert will take care of the rest. Creating port geometry, such as engine intake and exhaust ports and the rotational ports of pumps and compressor chambers, is easy with Port Expert.

The Benefits of Automation

One of the major advantages of Mastercam Port Expert is its ability to automate the process of creating machining paths. With just a few clicks, the software can generate the necessary machining paths to machine a part, saving time and reducing errors. The software also includes collision checking and simulation features that allow users to test and refine the machining process before actual processing.

Tool for the Skilled Machinist

Whether you're an experienced machinist or just starting 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 of cylinder head ports, reduces unnecessary movement, and ensures a high-quality finish. It is also suitable for machining other tubular structures.
