Mastercam 2018 lathe stock setup free download

 

It is a trial version of Mastercam that can be used to learn at home. Mastercam Learning Edition can be used to create geometry and then program the geometry using Mastercam toolpaths. The results can be verified visually, but they cannot be exported to control a CNC machine tool. Take advantage of innovative profile tools and processes aimed at greater efficiency and higher machining productivity. Extend tool life with proprietary toolpath strategies that maximize material removal rate and reduce cycle times.

Reduce costs and cut programming time with advanced toolpaths like Deburr and Equal Scallop. Build your expertise using the CAM software that more schools teach—and more professionals use—than any other. See the table below for minimum and recommended system configurations for Mastercam. These recommendations are based on systems we have in use at CNC Software for testing and evaluation purposes.

Our recommendation is to get as much power processor, video card, and memory for your systems as you can afford. Connection to Internet and email is recommended for installation, support, and updates.

CNC Software continues to review the operating system OS requirements for Mastercam with a goal of providing the best possible user experience for our customers. We recommend using Windows 10 version 20H2 or later or later bit Professional editions.

While Mastercam may run on other Windows editions such as Home Edition or virtual environments such as Parallels for Mac , it has not been tested on these configurations and is therefore not supported. Mastercam was the last release to officially support Windows 7 as Microsoft ended extended support for the OS in January Mastercam will install on Windows 7 systems but will not be supported. Future versions of Mastercam will not install on Windows 7.

The processor speed will impact how fast the software will calculate and complete tasks. With each release, more and more aspects of Mastercam are becoming multi-core processor aware. Toolpath calculation and Simulation will generally run faster with a multi-core processor. When Mastercam uses all available RAM, it switches to using virtual memory space, which is stored on the hard drive and will dramatically slow the system down. We recommend a minimum of 8 GB of memory.

When purchasing a new computer for Mastercam, one of the most important component is the video card. Other graphics cards can be used, but they must offer full OpenGL 3. OpenCL is required for Mastercam to be able to hand off certain computation tasks to the graphics card to increase system performance.

We do not recommend or support the use of onboard graphics found with some PC configurations. These do not generally have the capability to drive graphics intensive applications such as Mastercam and can lead to system instability.

Make sure you are using up-to-date drivers from your card manufacturer. We often see issues that are resolved with updated video drivers.

The driver version can have a great impact on how the card performs. We recommend using the automatic detect feature to detect which video card is installed. More information on configuring the graphics card can be found at this Mastercam knowledge base article. New alignment options Two new options have been added to control the alignment between your profile and the Along chains.

Previous releases always kept the same angle relationship between the Profile and Along curves. You can choose one of the following: Normal l l Parallel Normal maintains the original angle relationship between the profile and along chain. Parallel keeps the cross sections parallel to the original profile. The ability to control this relationship makes the exact placement of the profile in relation to the Along curve less critical.

In Mastercam , the profile geometry easily runs along sharp corners. If any sharp corners are encountered, Mastercam miters them. This enhancement gives you greater flexibility and precision when modeling.

You can control the angle of the twist as well as its placement along the sweep. There is no limitation on the angle of the twist, and you can use the following options to apply the twist from a certain place: No twist Twist l The start of the Along Chain to the end l The start of the Profile Chain s to the end of the Along Chain l The start of the Along Chain to the Profile Chain s 69 What’s New in Mastercam — Design Enhancements Solids Manager New icon A new icon has been added to the Solids Manager that represents solid bodies with operations that have been rolled back and are dirty.

This is especially helpful when there are many solid bodies and the bodies are collapsed so the history is not displayed. Stop Operation placement There is now a simpler way to manipulate the Stop Operation inside the history of a solid. You can now place the Stop Operation by selecting the operation you want to be last and selecting Move Stop Op here from the rightclick menu.

Keep solid feature color Mastercam now retains a solid’s face and feature colors even after you have removed its history. Solid face masking You can now use the standard color masking tools found in the Quick Mask color selection to select solid faces when creating a surface from a solid. Transform Enhancements Listed below are enhancements made to the Transform functions. Control start position Rotate and Mirror now include a new option, Translate, which maintains the same start position of a closed circle when rotated or mirrored.

If deselected, the start position of the circle moves as it did in previous Mastercam releases. Select Metric or English in the Uniform group to scale your geometry. Wireframe Enhancements Listed below are enhancements made to Wireframe functions. These new features will help in the creation of more accurate containment boundaries. Ignore shared edges off Ignored shared edges on Only outside loops Curve All Edges now allows you to create curves from only exterior edges of a solid and ignores the inner edges when you select Only outside loops.

It is only active when solid faces are selected. Previously, these functions only supported creating geometry in 3D mode. By supporting 2D geometry creation, geometry created from the selected edge can be projected to the current Cplane and Z depth, instead of requiring you to use another function, such as Project. Create Letters is now in a function panel, allowing you to work simultaneously within the graphics window. This also means that the letters are now live entities, so when you choose a new font, reposition, or edit the text it now shows the results in the graphics window.

Use Edit Spline to refine and prepare splines. You can move, rotate, or lengthen the tangent vector or move the control point. For more control and a finer adjustment of the curve, you can add or remove node points, or increase the number of control points. Helix and Spiral Helix and Spiral function panels now include locks for specific fields.

The fields you can lock are Revolutions, Height, Pitch for helix creation, and Initial Vertical Pitch for spiral creation. Locking a field does not prevent you from changing that value, it simply establishes which field is constant and which two are calculated. Select this option to create a line by selecting two points. The first point selected will be the midpoint and the second point will define one end while the other end of the line is a mirror in the opposite distance and angle. Modify at Intersection allows you to trim, break, or create points with lines, arcs, and splines where they intersect with surfaces, solid bodies, solid faces, and solid sheet bodies.

This is particularly useful when modeling or prepping for Multiaxis toolpaths. Select Modify at Intersection, and then use any selection method to select the wireframe geometry that you want to edit. After selecting the wireframe, select an intersecting surface, face, or solid body to display the function panel. When trimming geometry, Mastercam keeps the wireframe on the Normal side of the surface or solid by default.

To change this, click Reselect. Improved Inch and Metric Support Mastercam now supports mixing inch and metric tools and holders when building tool assemblies in Mill. You can use metric tools in inch part files and inch tools in metric part files. This includes proper tool compensation and scaling in Backplot and Verify. Note: This does not support scaling operation parameters when changing system units.

This launches another dialog box to allow you to select the tools you wish to import. The cloud icon in the second column indicates that the associated tool assembly has not been validated. If the tool assembly passes Mastercam’s validation tests, you will see a green checkmark indicating that it can now be saved. If Mastercam detects problems with the tool, an icon will display indicating the severity of the problem. A red X indicates that there is a critical issue that must be resolved first.

A yellow exclamation mark indicates a non-critical warning. Use the hyperlink in the description field to review or edit the tool in question. The importer does not connect to a server process; instead, you import ZIP files containing your tool assemblies using the Open button.

Similar to importing with CoroPlus see “Importing with CoroPlus” on page 80 , all assemblies must be validated before they can be used in Mastercam.

This includes improvements to the 2D, 3D, and Multiaxis suite of toolpaths. General Enhancements Listed below are enhancements that apply to Mill toolpaths in general, not just 2D or 3D toolpaths. Drill point sorting Sort by name has been added to the Drill Point Manager right-click menu. This allows you to reset the sort order to the original selection order or in the order you have named the drill points.

When the cutter moves through outside arcs, the perimeter of the cutter is moving through the material slower than the center of the tool, which results in a decreased chipload on the tool. Contour The following enhancements apply to the standard 2D Contour toolpath. Chamfer tool offset In previous versions, you could only modify the Tip offset when chamfer milling, allowing you to control how far past the bottom chamfer rail the tip of the chamfer tool extends.

Top offset places the full diameter of the chamfer tool at a specified distance above the top rail of the chamfer. Bottom offset amount ensures the tip of the tool clears the bottom of the chamfer. Width has also been renamed to Chamfer width. You can also now enter 0. This allows you to chain the top or bottom rail of an existing chamfer and place the chamfer where you desire using the top or bottom offset value.

Multi pass order In Mastercam , multi passes were only ordered By contour, meaning it completed one chain before moving on to the next.

In , you can now choose By contour or By pass on the Multi Passes page. By pass orders the multi passes by pass number. It will run the first multi pass on all contours, then the second multi pass on all contours, and so on. Rough pass cut direction You can now control the cut direction of rough passes on the Multi Passes page. Select either One way or Zigzag. One way causes the rough multi 87 What’s New in Mastercam — Mill Enhancements passes to behave as they did in past versions.

Zigzag will alternate the cut direction between climb and conventional. Both options respect the Keep tool down option. These options allow you to order your cuts from top to bottom or from bottom to top. By contour and By region machine each machining region to completion before moving to the next. In previous versions, you could only machine finish passes at all depths or at the final depth. Now you can add or remove finish cuts, based on the number of rough depth cuts specified on the Depth Cuts page.

Add between creates a finish pass at all depth cuts and adds a specified amount of passes between depth cuts. For example, when set to 2, Mastercam adds two evenly spaced passes between depth cuts. In the image 89 What’s New in Mastercam — Mill Enhancements below, the red lines represent depth cuts and the blue lines represent multipass finish passes.

Per number of adds a finish pass only at every specified depth cut. A multipass finish pass is always added to the last depth cut. When set to 2, Mastercam adds a finish pass only at every second depth cut, depicted by the blue and red lines together below.

These new features are located on the Linking Parameters page. For example, if the top of a feature should be cleared by a certain amount, you can enter a Clearance amount, select Associative, and then pick a point on the feature in the graphics window.

The Clearance plane will always be the specified incremental value above the point, even if the feature is moved. Set the Entry method to Plunge only on the Entry Motion page. This option allows you to plunge directly into material. Spring passes create additional finish passes along the same path as the last finish pass. In other words, use this option to create additional finish passes with a spacing of zero between the passes. This can used for parts with thin material that may have flexed away from the tool during previous passes.

The tool motion can now use the top, bottom, or both values of the stock. All of the linking parameters can be set to adapt to changing stock values. Undercut support Select Undercut undercut tool only when using an undercut tool to support tool compensation. When a slot mill tool, with Undercut undercut tool only and Step up selected, there are the following changes: l l Stock to leave becomes inverted. Break through becomes inverted. Select Tapered walls on the Depth Cuts page to angle depth cuts from the top of the stock to the final depth.

Disable undercut tool support When you select an undercut tool, but do not want to machine the undercut area, select Detect undercuts on the Rough Parameters tab for Surface Rough Pocket and on the Finish contour parameters tab for Surface Finish Contour. Detect undercuts disables undercutting when using an undercut tool. This option is only available when Contact is set to Tool assembly contact.

Follow containment allows the tool to follow the containment boundary back to the start of the cut, creating clean closed passes. This also helps to avoid partial cuts when a containment boundary was directly on top of a vertical surface.

High speed workflow The workflow for all 3D High Speed toolpaths has been streamlined. You can now define which part geometry to machine and which geometry to avoid. For each geometry group you create, you can also assign variable stock to leave values on its walls and floors.

Use the Model Geometry page to create different types of geometry groups and define their attributes, such as color and the amount of stock to leave. All of the geometry selection options that were previously located on the Toolpath Type page have been removed and relocated to the Model Geometry page or the Toolpath Control page. The Toolpath Control page also includes options that were previously located on the Tool Containment page, which has been removed. On this page, you 97 What’s New in Mastercam — Mill Enhancements can further refine your toolpath by setting an Approximate start point, the Strategy, and other options.

Smoothing The high speed Hybrid toolpath now offers smoothing controls, similar to the Sharp corner smoothing options for the Finish Scallop toolpath. Select Smoothing on the Cut Parameters page to enable these options. Blend distance is the distance Mastercam will back away from the sharp corners before and after. Smoothing off Smoothing on Multiaxis Enhancements Listed below are enhancements made to the Multiaxis suite of toolpaths. Collision Control page The Collision Control page has been redesigned for The following list encompasses the changes made: l l l Strategies 3 and 4 have been moved to a new Additional Collision Control Strategies page.

Items on the Advanced Parameters page have been moved to the Collision Control page. The Tool Clearance page has been removed, and its parameters are now on the Collision Control page. Dropping Dropping has been added to the 3 to 5 axis toolpath. This option projects the 3 axis toolpath onto the selected surfaces, adjusting the tool vectors to be normal to the surface.

This distance specifies how far from the curve a tool axis control line can be and still affect the tool. Maintain tilt Maintain tilt keeps the tool tilted during retract and feed moves in an effort to reduce tool and machine motion. This option is available when Tool axis control is set to Fixed angle to axis on the Tool Axis Control page. The images have been updated to better reflect the parameters, and a new Define Shape button has been added.

Surface edge tolerance Surface edge tolerance has been improved, particularly when creating a Curve toolpath. If the curve lies on the edge of a trimmed surface or solid What’s New in Mastercam — Mill Enhancements face, and the surface or solid face is used as the normal to control the tool axis, the toolpath will generate as expected.

Use this option to establish when chip breaks occur. Select the checkbox, and click Chip Break to open the dialog box. This option is valuable when working with stringy materials, such as aluminum or plastic, and allows you to set length and time conditions, retract, and dwell options.

With this option selected, after the toolpath’s initial plunge, it alternates between negative and positive directions until the required material is removed. Bi-Directional, Negative First: Machines the negative side first and then does the positive. Chain Direction: Machines in the direction of the chain. This balances wear between the two sides of the tool.

This option is available on the Dynamic rough parameters tab for Dynamic Rough toolpaths. For example, in the image below, you can see the tool shank crashing into the material as it tries to cut the toolpath.

Section turning Lathe Rough now has a Section turning option, located on the Rough parameters tab, that lets you cut stock in multiple sections. You can choose to break the toolpath into equal sections, into sections of exact distance with one section being the remainder, or equal sections based on the given distance.

To access this dialog box, select the checkbox, and select Semi Finish on the Rough parameters tab. After the part handling operations complete, the stock model will end up with the stock boundary. Tool Inspection You can now perform a tool inspection at the end of a standard Rough toolpath. Additionally, Tool Inspection has been added to the Face toolpath on the Face parameters tab.

This includes improvements to Job Setup, tool locators, and new toolpaths. Center Support Mastercam now supports center tool definitions, and you can now create a Center Point and Tailstock operation. Right-click in a tool list and select Create center to create a center tool using the Tool Wizard, by defining the parameters manually or by importing custom geometry from a file.

The available tailstock options differ depending on the selected machine. For example, not all machines allow quill actions. You can also create a set of tailstock operations to retract the quill and tailstock, and unload the center tool. General Enhancements l l Edit common parameters is now available in Mill-Turn. Right-click on a toolpath in the Toolpaths Manager and select Edit selected operations, Edit common parameters to display the Edit Common Parameters dialog box.

All features can be toolpathed on multiple sides in one operation. Enable destination spindle Select Enable Right Spindle or Enable Left Spindle when you want to use the second spindle for a stock pull.

The name of this option may vary depending on the Stock Type – Part Handling selected. This entity can be derived from a stock model that reflects the initial spindle’s operation. This allows you to machine different parts on the left and right spindles.

Spindle tool locators enable proper positioning of tools in the B-axis head. In Mastercam , a tool in the B-axis head would generally have its compensation point along the centerline of the head. Additionally, multi-station tool locators are supported. This allows for realistic simulation of machine tool change motion.

Instead of moving all the way to the tool change position, the spindle can move to any point you specify, index the locator, and quickly get back to cutting. These new locators are fully utilized in collision detection, including all tools mounted in the locators regardless of which tool is currently cutting. Report “WhatsNew-Mastercam “.
