5 axis parallel surface machining

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!

I am new Mastercam user. I need Mastercam for 5 axis machining. I heard it is the best software in market, but I am trying to learn it all by myself, but I didn't know it is that much complicated.

My first project is checking fixture for autoglass.

First, I have defined machine I will be use (5 axis router machine), than created tool (12mm dia flat end mill with 2 flutes) and defined feed and spindle speed. Now, my first operation must be 'parallel' to clear top surface, which is pretty much rounded in all directions. When I set my surface as drive surface, my tool always goes 180 degree on other side and machining inner (opposite) side of surface. I don't know why. I tryed everything to change that (reverse direction, unselect some check curves, etc.) Is there any tutorial similar to my problem?

I seen all your guys works in this forum, and I am impressed with such knowledge and experience all you have. Thanks for your help!

Throw a file with some sweat equity in it and we can help you. I got 100's of models I would like programmed for free, but not how the world works. I am glad to help those who need help anytime, but that is not a 5 minute conversation and like suggested some training from your reseller or going to the Mastercam Website and taking their free Mastercam U classes might help you. This site has an excellent subscription service and you have access to all of their PDF  and Video training materials for a very reasonable price per month. Plenty of You Tube Videos and other things out there.
