New ability to define and select reference positions for approach and retract moves in mill-turn operations.Improvements to 2D high-speed toolpath generation.Other new tools in available in Mastercam X8 include: New icons present a consistent, modern color palette that is “colorblind friendly,” the developer said. The graphics display is upgraded with a simpler aesthetic and more responsive selection, with an improved look and feel. Panels can be automatically hidden, docked to either side of a window, or undocked and placed outside the Mastercam program. All existing Solids functions have been updated to reflect the new workflow, too.Īs well, with the new Solids interface there are new features such as Live Preview, Hands-on Drag Controls, and Direct Editing has been improved to simplify model preparation.ĬNC Software continued, explaining Mastercam X8 has improved usability and customizability for the way programmers and operators work. The result is simpler, more intuitve building and editing of solids programs. The Solids interface and workflow have been fully revised for Mastercam X8. “They also take into account the changing condition of the material throughout various stages of machining.
“Dynamic toolpaths calculate not only the area where metal will be removed,” according to the developer. In addition to the performance improvements, the developer reported Mastercam X8 introduces new solids features, UI improvements, and usability/workflow improvements, among other new functions.įor example, Mastercam called its new Dynamic Motion technology “a new and exciting approach to creating toolpaths,” that follows proprietary rules reference a broad data set to create the most efficient cutting motion possible. Mastercam is a software program for for 2- through 5-axis routing, milling, and turning 2- and 4-axis wire EDM cutting 2D and 3D design surface and solid modeling artistic relief cutting and Swiss machining. is releasing Mastercam X8, the latest update to its Windows-based CAD/CAM platform, a new suite the developer said introduces program tools that improve process speed, automation capability, and production efficiency for all machining jobs.
