THE FUTURE OF EFFICIENCY & SPEED IS HERE – MASTERCAM’S DYNAMIC MOTION TECHNOLOGY Mastercam’s Dynamic Motion technology is just one example of cutting edge efficiencies built into our programs – at no extra cost to you.

With a fully functioning, contemporary machine shop in our corporate headquarters, we are constantly testing our toolpaths, and our engineers are always seeking newer, more efficient ways to help your company be more profitable. By using an innovative combination of solar, geothermal, and conservation techniques, we are able to support much of our energy needs.Īs the market leader, CNC’s programs are rigorously real-world and shop tested. No other CAD/CAM company can say that.Įven our headquarters is a state of the art model of sustainability. And we’ve done it for more than twenty-five years.

We demonstrate our commitment to the future of our industry, as well as the next generation of manufacturing professionals, by maintaining a dedicated educational division. Sustainability keeps us invested in the future. That means we can reach our short-term goals while keeping an eye on the long-term stability of our products. There is limited flexibility in the 2D Swept toolpath but if the feature being machined fits the requirements for this toolpath, it's pretty hard to beat.įor those interested in trying this programming technique yourself, here is a link to download the solid model.Not only do the founding partners still own the company, our entire leadership team has been extraordinarily stable. The along boundary must lie parallel or perpendicular to the current toolplane.ĢD Swept toolpaths are typically very efficient with amount of gcode/nci created for a given profile compared to an equivalent 3D toolpath. A Swept 2D toolpath can have only one along contour. There are a few rules for this toolpath to be aware of. Swept 2D toolpaths are 2.5-D toolpaths that are created by sweeping one contour (the across contour) along a second contour (the along contour). This video focuses on the 2D Swept toolpath. This wireframe geometry can be extracted from solid models or surfaces, or you can create the needed wireframe without any solid or surface. Mastercam's wireframe toolpaths let you create toolpaths similar to 3D toolpaths, but with the use of wireframe geometry. They can be extremely useful toolpaths once you have an understanding of how they work. The Wireframe Toolpaths in Mastercam are often overlooked.
