Simple Backplot and Verify can’t give you the whole picture of a multiaxis milling toolpath because they do not show machine tool motion. Machine simulation is a brand new capability added to Mastercam X5. Visit for more information on Mastercam X5 Lathe.
#Mastercam x5 3d verification#
Mastercam’s verification and collision checking has been enhanced to create a more accurate visual representation of boring bars, while still maintaining accurate collision detection. We have added an “exit amount” operation parameter that extends the cut beyond the stock by the amount specified. This feature allows tool inspection between depth passes, after a specified cut length, or after a specified time.Įxit Amount – Rough turn strategies can now accommodate open space at the end of a toolpath. Tool Inspection – After successfully adding tool inspection to groove toolpaths, we have added similar functionality to the rough turning toolpath. By attempting to fit these arcs and lines to the profile, a much more accurate representation of the geometry can be generated. ‘True’ arcs and lines are entities that exist in the wireframe construction geometry used to create the solid or that are part of the edge curves of the solid. A new module has been integrated into Mastercam X5 Lathe that fits ‘true’ arcs and lines to the polyline. This occurs because the profile is initially computed as a polyline to which the arcs are ‘fit’ in a subsequent step.

Often using the Turn Profile feature, many small arcs are generated where there should only be one large arc in the geometry. See Mastercam Help for more information about creating setup sheets with ActiveReports.Ĭontinued from a recent post on Mastercam X5 Lathe enhancements, here are even more new features. You image is placed in the setup sheet according to the format of the assigned template. To add the image, press to open the file browser. The Capture Images ribbon bar displays on top of the graphics window.ħ. Enter general information and select your preferred options in the Setup Sheet dialog box.Ħ. Right-click and choose Setup sheet from the menu.ĥ. In Mastercam’s Toolpath Manager, select one or more operations.

Note: You may use your preferred screen capture software to complete steps 1–3.Ĥ. Save the file as any one of the following supported file formats to. Open a drawing program, such as Paint, and paste the image into a file.ģ. Use to copy the active window to the clipboard.Ģ. Use this workaround to add images from these environments to your ActiveReports setup sheets.ġ. The Setup Sheet Image Capture function is currently unable to capture screen images generated in Verify, Machine Builder, and Machine Simulation.
