CNC Software will be demonstrating Mastercam X Maintenance Release 2 (MR2) software, available to all Mastercam Maintenance customers. MR2 introduces new capabilities, including a suite of new advanced multiaxis toolpaths, as well as Mastercam X Art. A new engine has been added to the advanced multiaxis toolpaths providing a customized, streamlined interface that is fine-tuned to specific applications, such as impellers and turbine blades. Depending on what toolpath is being used, Mastercam's parameter pages display only parameters applicable to the specific toolpath type. Advanced controls for gouge-checking allow full control of the tool motion, and users are not limited to retracting only along the tool axis, they have several options to select from. Full roughing capability is also available for the entire advanced multiaxis machining strategies, including an option for plunge roughing.
Furthermore, Mastercam Art is now available with Mastercam X . Version 9 Art features and functions have been upgraded and integrated in the Mastercam X interface, including text menus, hot keys, toolbars, and Help. A new Art Manager tracks Art surfaces and operations along with surface generation speed improvements, Art surface quality improvements, the ability to process large files, and Art chaining.
