Mastercam will showcase its newly released machining software, Mastercam 2019.
Mastercam 2019 helps increase machining productivity and reduces overall production costs with new 2-D through multi-axis milling automation features , CAD and model preparation improvements , expanded 3-D tooling , accelerated finishing and powerful turning and mill-turn enhancements.
CNC Programming
Mastercam 2019 continues to increase productivity and programming efficiency, while reducing overall production costs with a series of automated 2-D through 5-axis toolpath improvements. Re-engineered chamfering and holemaking strategies, plus the new multiaxis deburring, provide new levels of timesaving automation and simplicity . New milling toolpath strategies, like the highspeed Equal Scallop toolpath, offer both machining performance and surface finish improvements. The new release includes additional support for the Sandvik Coromant PrimeTurning method, enhanced grooving, bar feed and other features for turning and mill-turn applications, plus new lathe and Swissstyle machine support.
Job Preparation and Set-up
Mastercam 2019 increases efficiency and reduces job set-up time and the preparation needed for part machining and programming. This includes enhanced CAD functionality and 3-D model import support, improved part preparation and fixture set-up tools, additional PowerSurface capabilities and expanded support for model-based definition (MBD).
Tool Support
Mastercam 2019’s expanded digital tool library capability is designed to deliver accurate, 3-D tool assembly models, provide access to the latest cutting tool technology and provide updates for Sandvik Coromant CoroPlus and MachiningCloud platforms. Mastercam 2019 also expands Accelerated Finishing with support for taper and lens style tools aimed at 75% cycle time improvement for finishing operations with enhanced surface finish quality.
Validation
With improvements to toolpath and machine simulation, toolpath graphics and other verification and analysis tools, Mastercam 2019 provides greater programming assurance and allows for better, more informed decisions before a job is run. These improvements include support for block drilling multiple holes simultaneously and better axis control in simulation, allowing a user to easily check machine limits or collision checking.
Job Management and Documentation
Mastercam 2019 also improves job documentation and management, while helping to address quality and certification initiatives. New toolpath visualization capabilities and section view tools, improvements to view and set-up sheets and an array of system level enhancements improve efficiency in managing job workflow, as well as providing better tools for process documentation.
