Hole Axis makes it easier to work with a large number of holes, especially holes with matching diameters that are selected as a group.Īlso available in the Mastercam 2018 release is: To make Roll and Unroll results easier to predict, Seam Control lets you visually rotate a seam to see how geometry will respond, as well as snap to AutoCursor positions. The tailstock options differ depending on the selected machine.Īngle Sweep improves the creation of more complex wireframe functions and when creating or editing primitives, there are now on-screen sweep and rotate controls which can snap to the AutoCursor positions of existing entities. The new Tailstock Operation allows you to define how the machine’s tailstock is used.
Mill-Turn machine definitions now contain tailstock and quill components. This is valuable when working with stringy materials such as aluminium or plastic, and allows you to set length and time conditions, retract, and dwell options. You can also assign variable stock to leave values on its walls and floors.Ĭhip Break is now available for face and finish toolpaths when chip breaks occur. The workflow for all 3D high-speed toolpaths has been streamlined and gives you fine control over exactly where to cut. Now you can add or remove finish cuts, based on the number of rough depth cuts specified on the Depth Cuts page. Finish passes now have more options to choose from. The tool motion can now use the top, bottom, or both values of the stock, and all the linking parameters can be set to adapt to changing stock values. Stock awareness has been added to select 2D toolpaths. Scheduled for release in June 2017 Mastercam 2018 offers new 2D/3D milling features, design improvements, powerful turning and mill-turn enhancements, and so much more. In May 2017 Mastercam will unveil the latest in the line of its machining software – Mastercam 2018.
