Mastercam’s New Dynamic Machining Increases Speed and Finish
With the release of Mastercam X4 came expanded machining flexibility and an increased emphasis on speed and automation with a suite of new toolpaths and techniques, including the new Dynamic Machining cutting motion.
Dynamic Machining creates a constantly adapting toolpath that delivers more consistent cutting conditions and allows use of the entire tool flute length, saving both time and money. The toolpath is specially designed to take a full depth cut in, often eliminating the need for multiple depth cuts.
Dynamic Machining also offers flexible retract options to keep the tool down in smaller parts, as well as rapid retract on larger parts. In addition, the special “micro lift” option will retract the tool slightly off the bottom when moving to the next cut. This decreases the amount of heat generated in the part and also helps with chip evacuation.
Highly efficient entry methods along with customizable entry speeds and feeds, give you flexibility regardless of the material or cutter style being used. Dynamic Machining’s specialized motion works equally well with both “closed” and “open” parts.
FBD enhancements also include Hole Mapping and Pre Drill enhancements, see your "what's new" documents for more detail.
