Mastercam X6 What's New Videos
Mastercam X6 delivers full 64-bit support and a powerful set of new tools to help you make the most of your shop. We've listed some highlights below (click the video icon to see a quick demonstration):
Mill and Router
- The new in-process stock model delivers an accurate representation of your part as toolpaths are applied to it. The model can be verified and used as the basis for additional toolpaths.
- Enhanced dynamic milling includes finer control and additional time savings.
- Fast 2D HST region chaining dramatically speeds up dynamic toolpath programming.
- Smart rest roughing uses the new in-process stock model to create a highly efficient pass to remove stock remaining from a larger tool
- Hybrid finish "filler" passes divide your part into a series of Z sections and applies two different machining strategies to each section for a superior finish.
Lathe
- Variable depth roughing for longer insert life.
- Easy pick, pull and cutoff operations.
- Remaining stock removal.
- Smart finishing that identifies and cuts flats and walls with different motion.
- Finish tool inspection.
- Enhanced canned rough and finish toolpaths.
- New finish feed / speed facing and canned grooving controls.
Wire
- Enhanced autosyncing.
- Improved wirepath editing.
- New force wire taper to vertical options.
CAD Tools
- Finer control over intersecting and trimming solid edges.
