Understand Smarter Toolpaths – Adaptive…

I am sorry to bring it up, but someone has to do it. If you on a regular basis gets in contact with a CAM program or a CNC milling machine tool, you better keep reading. They said it was for roughing and so much faster, but that was only because they did not know how to explain it to you. If you are in the game of removing metal chips, making money and at the same time take care of your endmills and machine. Then, You need to know that smarter toolpaths exist. Adaptive Clea

SolidWorks kickstarts a busy CAD&CAM 2011 fall season

It seems like only a few days ago the hotdogs where sizzling on the grill, backyard bonfires, and the CAD/CAM world more or less asleep. But as we find ourselfs here in the middle of November the reality is that the wonderful world of Design, Engineering and Manufacturing has awaken and actually been pretty busy as of late. Here is a quick recap… Conclusion… So it has defiantly been a busy couple of months on the CAD&CAM planet. Hopefully this pushing of new computer aided

What you should know…..Export from Mastercam into Solidworks

Same texts as in “What you should know…..export from Solidworks to Mastercam”, but different videos There is days you could wonder if CAD sales people have practiced extra hard on keeping a straight inviting face when they claim that there CAD software can import and export any of there competitors formats as if it was an extension of there body. Now, I’m not going to throw the CAD sales guy into the “used car salesman” category, he do not deserve that. To be fair, most CAD

What you should know…..Export from Solidworks into Mastercam

Import/Export Converting CAD from one system to another should be compared to translating from Russian to Greek with a dictionary where more than a few pages are missing. If you are trying to import a ProE file into Solidworks you need to realize that you are importing one competitor into another, and therefor in this example Solidworks only have what ProE gives them to work with in the conversion process. This goes for every CAD manufacture, so until we get all our differen

3D love for the future of CAD/CAM

We take a lot of pride in what we do and with all this designing, engineering and machining we all know we are keeping the industrial world on its feet. Now the question is can we possible be asked to do more? Go green, Go paperless…..yeah whatever dude. Lets go for something a lot more fun and important. Solidworks have also sponsored Match school first scholarship recipient in hosting Lut Celestin in her first internship while attending NorthEastern Univ.. Solidworks are al

Mastercam Feature Based Machining for real people.

But does it work? the answer is yes, as long as you are gentle with the selection of parts. When it was first added to the Mastercam toolpath selection it was quickly judged as a incomplete enhancement that further more became a advertising joke when posted on youtube “So easy a 6 year old can do it“. Now anyone with a little CAM knowledge and common sense, will realize that there is a lot more to programing CAM than throwing toolpaths around. But Mastercam Feature Based Mach

Get to the point…with MastercamX4

Creating points in Mastercam can be useful in any design that contains more than a couple of arcs and lines, or as if programming WEDM a necessity. MastercamX4 has some pretty nifty point tools that you might find handy in your daily master creations. And the point is… That these functions may not rock your daily world, but one day ~And I am pointing at you~ you will use one of these function, because speed is your thing. #CADCAM #Mastercam

Mastercam Post are asking you the questions

Having your post asking you questions as it is processing code, and either using the data to trigger other functions in the post or a little more down to earth as we are going to do today, inputting the programmers name in the post header is an easy way to assure that each program is earmarked with programmers name and not becoming a ghost program no one dare to run or modify.

Time to have some code hitting the screen, check out the 3 intros if you missed them; Mastercam Post Processor Intro, Pick your Editor and Post for Mastercam and Post Debugging in MastercamX4. If you want to make friends, make other peoples life easier. That is exactly what we are going to do today, even with out doing something really scary to our post and our code. Our post is going to translate some miscellaneous codes into our native tongue. #CADCAM #Mastercam #Postproce

A trick or two on how to select in MastercamX4

Selecting, that’s what we do ………. selecting and picking geometry and solids all day long, right? I am confident that you got the left-clicking pretty much under control, and dragging a window a cross for selecting geometry most likely ain’t making you palm sweat. Here is a couple of selection methods in Mastercam you might didn’t know about… (Solidworks? did cover a couple in this previous post if you missed it) That’s it for now, remember life is about making the right cho

Use your Solidworks file to verify in Mastercam

Got this question asked the other day, and thought maybe it would make it worth for someone if this one year old post got dusted off, and came back out in the sunlight. If you import Solid models into Mastercam and you are not using them for verify, then you are missing on a cool feature, more than once this has saved me the hassle of re-programing a part because I forgot to drill a hole or clear a feature. 1st. picture is just a preview of the solid and stock display turned

Solidworks and Mastercam should “trim” the menu and “extend” the help

Solidworks Extend Entities, You use it? Why? I always recommend new users to spend some quality time getting the handle of the trim tool, it is a very powerful tool that can make work flow smooth when mastered, I just wish Solidworks would organize and maybe make there help files a little more in depth on this kind of topic. Mastercam… Point is… These tools are as important to a CAD/CAM operator as a hammer is to a carpenter, it is great they can multi task, the point is not

Engineering change, use "Change Recognition" in MastercamX4

Change Recognition Conclusion I think this is a great feature that came with the X series, as we see more and more models handed down and fewer actually drawings filled with revision tables, this feature has proven to be at value. The problem is that it does take some time to get comfortable with when you have a $13,000 mold Cavity sitting in your WEDM, and I do believe that some of the innovating heads at CNC Software should spend some time trying to make it a little more u

Wacky cool viewsheets in MastercamX4

I have never in the past found a good use for the viewsheet function in Mastercam, however in MastercamX4 you got some enhancement with viewsheets that makes them appetizing, especially if you work with 4 or 5 axis stuff, you can create a viewsheet and attach Work, Construction and Tool planes to it…….MMmmm delicious, right? 3 wacky shapes floating in space #CADCAM #CNC #Mastercam
