The master model technique can be divided into two categories: In this case you just need to edit your master model and these changes are directly transferred to the derived parts. A big advantage is the time gain when you need to make model changes. Geometry detail is generally found in the individual part files. In this tech blog, I want to focus on the master model technique, where parts are driven from a single part, which contains overall size, location and gross geometry for an entire assembly. Another approach is the “Top-Down” assembly method, where parts are created in the context of the assembly. A common way is the so called “Bottom-Up” assembly method, where assemblies are created by adding existing parts in an assembly. Transitions Feed Rate allows you to set which feed rate is used during transition moves for Waterline toolpaths.There are many ways to create your parts and assemblies in SOLIDWORKS.Skip Pocket Smaller Than is a new parameter that allows you to skip pockets based on the tool diameter percent, rather than by entering a dedicated size of the pocket.Accelerated Finishing technology has two new tool types, Lens Form and Taper Form.Check an operation’s tool holder for interference with the part with Check Holder enhancements.Other powerful tools in Mastercam 2019 Mill include: This allows Mastercam to operate while the toolpaths generate and allows for speed improvements in multiple and offset cut calculations. Without it, the tool cuts across the part with the tool’s edge.Ĭurve, Swarf, Flow, Multisurface, Port and Rotary toolpaths are now multithreaded. Morph and Parallel toolpaths now support a gradual front shift, which keeps the tool in better contact with the part, without placing excess wear on the tool’s leading and trailing edges. Deburr can be used with the ball endmill and the lollipop with undercut tools. Use this option to allow Mastercam to improve the quality of the projected boundary.Ī new toolpath, Deburr, can be used to break edges for 3- to 5-axis, and to remove burrs. When you project a containment boundary onto the machining model, the resulting projected boundary can be jagged or noisy, especially near steep features. Projected boundary smoothing tolerance has been added for Hybrid and Equal Scallop toolpaths. This improves the overall processing time for high speed machining applications that use high-feed endmills. The linking process time for Area Roughing toolpaths has been improved, specifically for parts with many pockets and small stepdowns. Equal Scallop generates clean, noise-free motion with the ability to smooth out sharp corners or convert the motion to a spiral approach while avoiding stepover moves. This new option allows you to roll the toolpath around sharp corners and is available when you enter a positive value for stock to leave on walls.Ī new 3D high-speed toolpath, Equal Scallop, creates a consistent scallop motion relative to stepover distance and produces a superior surface finish. Maintain sharp corners is now available for standard 2D Contour and Pocket toolpaths. After selecting your geometry, Model Chamfer has several unique parameters to further control the toolpath. This toolpath allows you to machine safe horizontal chamfers on solid models. Here are some of the most significant highlights and new functionality in Mastercam Mill:Ī new toolpath, Model Chamfer, is now available for 2D machining.
