Mastercam (Sandvik)

Mastercam

Mastercam supports CNC toolpath programming, verification and shop-floor manufacturing workflows.

On the software discovery list. Connector development and release dates have not been announced.

Workflow ideas

Prepare machining geometry

Start from the selected part, stock, machine or cell layout. In the intended Mastercam preview, prepare machining geometry; the visible result is a process setup with work coordinates, resources and target geometry visible. Review orientation, reach, tooling and fixture assumptions before accepting or exporting it.

Generate CNC toolpaths

Begin with the chosen operations, tools or robot tasks. In the intended Mastercam preview, generate CNC toolpaths; the visible result is a generated path or production sequence over the same setup. Review clearance, collisions, limits, feeds and operation order before accepting or exporting it.

Verify material removal

Use the simulated material removal, robot motion or process results. In the intended Mastercam preview, verify material removal; the visible result is a verification view with remaining stock, reach or cycle data exposed. Review collisions, code target, cycle time and safe human approval before accepting or exporting it.
