CT, Oct 15, 2009 – Mastercam X4 Wire delivers powerful part modeling and EDM programming, efficient
tab creation, and dependable wirepath verification. Dramatically streamlined and
featuring powerful new features, Mastercam Wire has been designed to reduce
programmer interaction and increase machining flexibility.
Mastercam's 4-axis contouring with automatic
reverse and skim cuts
Powerful Part Modeling
Mastercam’s streamlined CAD engine makes design work easier than ever
before. Each piece of geometry you create is “live,” letting you quickly
modify it until it’s exactly what you want.
EDM Programming
Mastercam X4 Wire delivers a streamlined set of programming tools,
including:
- 2- and 4-axis programming.
- 2-axis contouring, with or without taper angle.
- Efficient no-core cutting.
- Straight and tapered cut (with or without land) from either
direction.
- Contour multiple parts using a single window selection.
- Automatic wirepath corner filleting.
- Create efficient lead-ins and lead-outs with optional lead trimming.
- Automatic tabs with user-definable stop types.
- No Drop Out tab option helps avoid slivers.
Mastercam's tab control cut multiple parts with
complete control over when the tab is cut
Designed for Ease
- Fully associative wirepaths are linked with your geometry. Modify
any element of the job and immediately get updated wirepaths without
starting over.
- Mastercam’s CAD File Change Recognition tracks files from Mastercam
or any other CAD system and will show you what’s been changed for easy
wirepath updating.
- User-customizable wire power libraries store power settings and
other registers for rough and skim passes.
- Mastercam includes all-new support for Agie EDM with Agievision
controls. Simply choose an Agievision AWF Wire Machine Definition and
you’ll see parameter pages that anyone familiar with Agievision will
instantly recognize.
- See your part as it will come off the machine with solid model
wirepath verification.
