Mastercam 2018

Mastercam 2018, developed by CNC Software, Inc., is a professional CAD/CAM solution for programming CNC equipment. It provides comprehensive toolpath creation, verification, and post processing for milling (2- through 5-axis), turning, mill-turn, routing, and wire EDM. The 2018 release builds on Mastercam’s Dynamic Motion technology to deliver faster, more efficient toolpaths and smoother finishes, while streamlining everyday tasks with improved model preparation, hole-making workflows, and tool management. Integrated simulation and verification help detect collisions and gouges before a program reaches the machine, and broad CAD import support simplifies working with models from most major CAD systems. Mastercam 2018 is designed to help shops of all sizes produce reliable NC code, shorten cycle times, and extend tool life.

Highlights:

• High-efficiency roughing with Dynamic Motion to reduce cycle time and tool wear
• Robust 2D, 3D, and multi-axis milling, turning, mill-turn, router, and wire EDM capabilities
• Model Prep tools for editing imported solids and streamlining setup
• Enhanced drilling and hole-making options for consistent, accurate results
• Tool libraries, feed and speed controls, and customizable post processors for a wide range of machines
• Backplot, Verify, and optional machine simulation to validate toolpaths before cutting
• Support for popular CAD formats to enable associative design-to-manufacturing workflows
