It pretty much goes downhill from there." OptiRough strategy now offers OptiCore and OptiArea."Well your first problem was installing X6 to begin with.Mastercam Lathe Variable Depth Roughing.The result is a better finish and more efficient use of the tool." "Now you can have both waterline and scallop motion at the same Z section, section after section. "These toolpaths combine the best of both worlds with waterline (constant Z) motion and scallop where needed," said the spokesperson. This new toolpath can use the new stock model functionality for defining stock removal areas."ģD high-speed hybrid toolpaths now maintain all of the Z-level cuts in the steep areas of parts while filling in the shallow areas with scallop motion within a single Z section. "Mastercam's latest 3D High Speed Toolpath performs rest milling operations to remove remaining material with optimized roughing motion. Automatic tool axis control ensures smooth machine motion. Blade Expert includes a variety of multi-axis roughing strategies. There is no limit to the number of blades, splitters or sub-splitters that can be programmed.

"Mastercam Blade Expert simplifies the toolpath creation process for any multi-bladed parts, including fans, propellers, impellers, turbines and marine screws. "Mastercam gives you the power to create accurate, fully-associative stock models at any point in your machining process.


"A precise machining stock model delivers a variety of benefits, viewing and verifying work as it progresses, performing stock model comparisons and easily choosing existing stock for rest machining," said a company spokesperson. Mastercam X6, the latest release, introduces significant new capabilities, including new stock models, Mastercam Blade Expert, the new OptiRest toolpath, Hybrid Finish Filler Passes and more.
