Accelerated Finishing technology has two new tool types, Lens Form and Taper Form.Check an operation’s tool holder for interference with the part with Check Holder enhancements.Other powerful tools in Mastercam 2019 Mill include: This allows Mastercam to operate while the toolpaths generate and allows for speed improvements in multiple and offset cut calculations. Without it, the tool cuts across the part with the tool’s edge.Ĭurve, Swarf, Flow, Multisurface, Port, and Rotary toolpaths are now multithreaded. Morph and Parallel toolpaths now support a gradual Front shift which keeps the tool in better contact with the part, without placing excess wear on the tool’s leading and trailing edges. Deburr can be used with the ball end mill and the lollipop with undercut tools. Source: Multiaxis ImprovementsĪ new toolpath, Deburr, can be used to break edges for 3- to 5-axis, and to remove burrs. Use this option to allow Mastercam to improve the quality of the projected boundary. When you project a containment boundary onto the machining model, the resulting projected boundary can be jagged or noisy, especially near steep features.
Projected boundary smoothing tolerance has been added for Hybrid and Equal Scallop toolpaths. This improves the overall processing time for high speed machining applications that use high feed endmills. The linking process time for Area Roughing toolpaths has been improved, specifically for parts with many pockets and small stepdowns. Equal Scallop generates clean, noise-free motion with the ability to smooth out sharp corners or convert the motion to a spiral approach while avoiding stepover moves. 3D EnhancementsĪ new 3D high speed toolpath, Equal Scallop, creates a consistent scallop motion relative to stepover distance, and produces a superior surface finish. This new option allows you to roll the toolpath around sharp corners and is available when you enter a positive value for Stock to leave on walls. Maintain sharp corners is now available for standard 2D Contour and Pocket toolpaths. After selecting your geometry, Model Chamfer has several unique parameters to further control the toolpath. This toolpath allows you to machine safe horizontal chamfers on solid models. Here are some of the most significant highlights and new functionality in Mastercam Mill: 2D EnhancementsĪ new toolpath, Model Chamfer, is now available for 2D machining.
