  1. Past hour
  2. I don’t know if future versions will have the possibility of adding cutting from the outside? (Hard materials) Now it can only be created manually
  3. Today
  4. My opinion is I don't care what the computer was "made for" if it has the best hardware in it to do the job then that's the computer I'd want. +1 to JP's Quadro/RTX recommendation. The i9-13000 CPU is solid, 16GB RAM probably want to go to 32GB (RAM is cheap), but I also don't know what type of work you're doing and if you need it. Here's some forum posts discussing computer specs:
  5. I absolutely agree with you. Thank you very much.
  6. The specs alone take it away from a gaming rig... If you're doing workstation work, buy a workstation.....if you're gaming, buy a gaming rig... That's just how I approach it...
  7. Yes, I saw it. My question is how pc for gaming works with Mastercam. I suggested for my boss Work Station Dell Precision 3660, but he say that this pc stronger and better. I don't sure, but may be I am mistake. For this reason I ask here.
  8. Recommended spec's here https://www.mastercam.com/support/technical-support/system-requirements/
  9. It's ok. This is mistake. Windows 11 not Home edition. Thank you very much.
  10. What do you mean by "Home Edition" , the pc type?
  11. I didn't think the "Home Edition" was supported for Mastercam... and my feeling on GEForce cards is well known...they work for others, I won't buy a system without a Quadro/RTX card
  12. Hello guys, My boss want purchase new pc for work and for some reason intends purchase gaming pc Lenovo Legion 9i tower Intel® Core™ i9-13900KF Processor 32GB DDR5 NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 4080 16GB GDDR6 Windows 11 Home 64Bit . But I heard many bad reviews about Lenovo pc. What are you thinking about this. Have any one experience with this pc type, how does it works with Mastercam? Many thanks in advance, Sincerely, Michael.
  13. I haven't personally used NCBase for storing Mastercam files, but I'm curious to hear from others who have. soccer skills world cup
  14. Yesterday
  15. Look in your Windows Start Menu > scroll down to the "Mastercam" folder, and find the "Quick Reference Card". Lots of shortcuts and handy tips there! In the "Data Entry Field", instead of typing a letter, Right-Click, and you'll get the full shortcut list. Also, are you aware you can do "math" in any field with a yellow background? This is a "calculatable value field", and you can not only do simple math, but can use parenthesis as well, to form more complex calculations. For example > (0.8775/2) * 1.414
  16. Our installation of the Cimco DNC and NCBase begins on Wednesday....I have much laid out already but one question I have... I did ask if NCBase would also take our Mastercam files....I was told it would but it's ability to manage them like say PDMWorks could with revision control wasn't possible. The programs & documentation will be stored within NCBase... So my question, is anyone using NCBase to store their current Mastercam files? Thoughts on how it does?
  17. I have a question that may have been covered before but I can only find the hotkeys for the main UI. In the data fields Mastercam has hot keys for extracting data from the graphics screen IE D for diameter. for example of where to use this. if your creating a tool drill for example when inputting the diameter if you put d in the field for the diameter you can select the hole your drilling and Mastercam will extract the diameter off the arc selected. Z for depth in construction plane. Does anyone know if there is a list for all of these short cuts? The one I am trying to use at the moment is distance between 2 points. say you want to make 2 passes and want to select the distance between an end point and a mid point of a line. This would be handy for the way I machine. Thanks #LFG
  18. good to know. Looks like we r ordering software... it did the same thing. I did need linear movement pre positioning to get within the range of motion for the offset/ angle. before g68 . (top mapped approach point) but thanks for clarifying things for me. We were not sure how to tell if the software was capable or not. looks like not. s.
  19. Cough Cough or CAMPlete. Cough Cough Vericut owned and used at 5th Axis CG Inc. have 105 different machines.
  20. Hi Pete...indeed, longtime...hope all is well on your end
  21. You can refer to software such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks or SketchUp, these programs are widely used to draft and create technical drawings. These programs often have features that allow you to create bounding boxes, add dimensions, and create layout drawings.
  22. The other thing that factors into this is the optimize stepup and stepdown settings in cut parameters
  23. Hey Y'all. Haven't posted in what seems like forever so here goes. At Laitram Machine Shop, I learned how to use CAMPlete for posting and verifying programs for the Matsuura 5-axis equipment. A couple of years later we decided to ditch CAMPlete as it was recently purchased by Autodesk and we couldn't update for some reason. We started using Vericut and I really feel it's much more user-friendly, and more accurate verification of the NC code. I generally always use Mastercam Backplot and Simulation to get a quick idea of what should happen, especially for simpler programs, but nothing beats Vericut for horizontal or 5 axis output. My .02 cents for what it's worth. HTH Pete
  24. Last week
  25. Curve 5 Axis is you only choice. Make the motion from it and then use toolpath editor. Be nice if arc filter did just that and made arcs verse no filter on some tool paths that do make arcs, but I digress.
  26. I can't understand English but I can understand the video. The video is very good. I have used this function, but it seems that it cannot set separate feed rates for multiple blocks. Is there any operation method that I don’t know that can be implemented? Thank you
