Gap Settings Webinar

[Colin Gilchrist]

Hello Everyone,

 

We are doing another free Webinar to cover Gap Settings in Mastercam. This was inspired by a recent question asked here on the forum, and this is a great topic to cover. If you can't make it to the broadcast tomorrow, we will be posting the video to Eapprentice. Hope to see you there.

 

Gap Settings in Mastercam

 

What are Gap Settings, how do we set the Gap Distance, and why is it important?

Join us for an Eapprentice Webinar on Mastercam Gap Settings. We’ll explore the Gap definition so that you fully understand what a “Gap” is in Mastercam. We will also show how different toolpath types have different ways of handling Gap Motion. By the end of this Webinar you should have a good understanding of how to use the Gap Settings to control the retract/reposition behavior of the tool in a variety of conditions. We will explain the differences between the legacy surface toolpaths, the new HST toolpaths, and the Multi-Axis toolpath gap settings.

Space is limited.

Eapprentice always post the free webinars after hosting them. but one of the differences is there is after the presentations there is time for questions to be asked at the time. you will not see or hear those questions after.

So always good when you can to be there live.

Here is a link to the presentation for anyone that missed it, or would like to review.

You are very welcome. Glad you enjoyed the presentation.

 

Here is a link to the sample file I used:

That was the file I created. The other file I used in the Webinar was one of the sample files from X8. You can download that sample (and much more) with the installation package from Mastercam.com.

 

(By the way, I fixed the geometry that I used for offsetting the wall. I also added some additional chains to make the toolpath do some extra finish work going up the ramp. Check it out.)

 

Thanks,

 

Colin

You are very welcome Greg. I'm always happy to give back to the same community that I owe much of my success too. This forum has been instrumental in helping build my career and I'm just glad that I can contribute something.
