Mastercam to Unveil FBM, SolidWorks Add In at Westec
 LOS
ANGELES, CA , Jan 25, 2008 –
Westec 2008 features the unveiling of two major developments in CNC
Software’s Mastercam CAD/CAM software. Attendees will get the first look at
Mastercam’s new Feature Based Machining (FBM) as well as the Mastercam for
SolidWorks add-in. Both will showcased in booth # 3258 at the Los Angeles
Convention Center in Los Angeles, CA on March 31 – April 3.
Feature-Based Machining (FBM)
Mastercam’s new Feature-Based Machining automates the machining process.
This offers shops dramatic speed improvements and allows for great
reductions in programming time. Mastercam’s FBM will automatically evaluate
the part and program pockets, contours, bosses, and drilling routines with
minimal user input. New users to Mastercam will be machining 2D solid parts
sooner thanks to FBM's ease of use and short learning curve.
Mastercam for SolidWorks
Mastercam for SolidWorks is fully integrated CAM that runs seamlessly in
SolidWorks. SolidWorks users can now program their parts directly within
SolidWorks using Mastercam’s industry-leading toolpaths and machining
strategies.
Mastercam’s latest release, X2MR2 will also be demonstrated in the booth.
Stop by to learn about the Mastercam X2 features including: -
- The new Peel Milling toolpath moves the tool in and “peels” away
material, layer by layer.
- The Operations Manager pane can now float to a different area of the
graphics window or to a separate screen when you are working with dual
monitors.
- The Create Boundary function greatly expands Mastercam’s toolpath
boundary creation, restricting the toolpaths to highly specific areas.
- Many powerful multi-axis enhancements are included in the advanced
multi-axis toolpaths.
- Common edge optimization in nesting is now supported.
