A special tutorial is dedicated to teaching how to drill and circle mill holes using Multiaxis toolpaths. The book also covers the Multiaxis Classic family toolpaths: Rotary, Curve, Swarf, Flow, and Msurf. The Intro to Multiaxis Training Tutorial covers the different applications that are available by configuring the Rotary Axis Control page including: Rotary axis positioning and Axis substitution. A firm grasp on both 2D and 3D machining is required and can be attained by completing the Mill Essentials and Mill Advanced Training Tutorials. The Mastercam 2018 Multiaxis Essentials Training Tutorial is intended for the advanced Mastercam user looking to learn Mastercam Multiaxis programming. The print version is printed in greyscale. This sample is in color as it appears in the eBook version. It also contains 2D High Speed Toolpaths, as well as proper Stock Setup and Tool Settings. A wide range of topics are covered including 2D Geometry and Solids Creation, Drilling, Tapping, Contouring, Pocketing, Circle Milling and Slot Milling.
It is a great choice for an individual looking to get a broader overview of the software or an instructor looking to provide the same for his/her students.įour mill projects, two lathe projects, and two solids projects – the same found at the start of our newly revised Mill Essentials, Lathe and Solids Training Tutorials – are combined with practice exercises and the Mastercam 2018 Home Learning Edition DVD (Demo Software) to round out this compilation book.Įach tutorial systematically walks through all the procedures from Geometry Creation to Toolpath instructions, Verification and G Code Generation. The Mastercam 2018 Beginner Training Tutorial provides a comprehensive step-by-step approach to learning the basics of three Mastercam modules: Mill Essentials (2D), Lathe and Solids.

The primary focus is on toolpath creation on SolidWorks models. Extensive emphasis is put on making parametric changes and toolpath updates to match the SolidWorks model changes. You will learn how to program a variety of different parts that require most of the toolpath types available in Mastercam for SolidWorks. The Mastercam 2018 for SolidWorks Programming Exercises book provides a comprehensive “hands on” method of learning Mastercam for SolidWorks. Mastercam 2018 Mill Advanced Video Training DVD - Closed Captioned Mastercam 2018 Home Learning Edition/Demo Software (Will expire in summer of 2019) Machine Simulation is used to check for collisions between the part, the tool and any of the machine’s components. Also covered is how to create and manage Stock models in the Toolpath Manager. An emphasis is put on the advanced Surface High Speed toolpaths, STL Stock creation and its use in solid model verification. The content covers 3D wireframe, surface geometry creation and solid creation, Surface Finish and Roughing toolpaths. Clearly laid out objectives and dimensioned step previews make it easier than ever to follow along. It is strongly recommended to have a good understanding of 2D machining (provided in the Mill Essentials Training Tutorial, for example) before beginning this book.Īll of the parts are designed with machinability in mind and include suggested fixtures and tool setups. The Mastercam 2018 Mill Advanced Training Tutorial contains projects and accompanying practice exercises that span a wide degree of complexity.
