Modig & Mastercam

[PMDc]

Is anyone here using Mastercam to program your Modig extrusion mill?

 

If yes, are you using Swiss or simply Mill or some other Mastercam Solution?

 

Thanks!

Shouldn't be an issue; looks like just four axis milling.

Agreed, looks like a 4 axis mill to me. There will be some special functions but a good post builder will be able to take care of it.

My observations are the same as yours.

 

The machine tool salesmen are soliciting Mastercam with iCam but my customer is questioning adding another software in the mix when they already use Mastercam and Vericut.

 

Thanks for the responses.

ICAM has something Vericut doesn't have. Just like NCSIMUL has posts processors. When you have an integrated solution then you are good to go.

 

That said with the customer can get a 3rd party post and use what they have with this machine with no issues. Might be able to use a generic post, but going to a 3rd party post builder you will leavarage their experience to help get you going the faster.

I agree with Ben and Matthew, looks like a 4 axis mill, with some special functions. A good post guru should be able to sort the extra functions. The existing combination of Mastercam and Vericut (provided the post for Mastercam is sorted) should be fine. Vericut can handle those functions.

If I had to choose in a scenario where I would not have a Verification package, I´d go with ICAM for those machines. Not only the simulation is fine, but they have a dialed post.

 

 

And are sponsored by Modig. That always speaks volumes.

 

ICAM is top notch software when it comes to post-processors - They kind of invented it the way we know them today. And are excellent simulation providers as well.
