MR2

[Bruce Caulley]

Anyone hear a tentative release date? (I know, I know, when it is ready )

 

I have a couple of smokin' 5 axis parts due for release shortly, and since some new improved options are "allegedly" included I would like to hold off a couple of weeks if at all possible.

Allegedly... LOL

 

Sorry, personally I have absolutely no idea.

Good stuff.

 

If you poke around a bit there have been several snippets posted of what will be coming soon.

[Bruce Caulley]

I just hope the good bits I was refering too has the other good bits attached as well.

[Bruce Caulley]

I downloaded a 30 day trial of the "other good bits" i.e machine sim, and see that rather than running in backplot as it did in V9 it now posts and uses actual Gcode for simulation and crash detection. WOOHOO!

 

Anyone out there actually have this installed for real? I am keen to be able to iron out as much as possible in MC before getting to vericut, if vericut would be needed at all.

I have it from a good source that it will be released very soon, i heard as early as today, the 10th of May. One of the major additions will be the inclusion of the camaix 5-axis software. Which is great for anybody like me doing intricate 5 axis work and are getting fed up with the limitations of mastercam X's 5-axis package.

I just heard Pete say they were planning to release it ASAP....

 

Something tells me it's almost done....

 

Come on MR2

 

That is not too bad actually....I would say upon Xs release, 80% of the major bugs that found from public beta were fixed within a year....

 

X is getting pretty good now

Well maybe they could release mr1.5 until they do.

[Thad]

If it's not too late, maybe they could add a "Chill" button. I know I could use it at times.

That is unless of course you LIKE a shot of espresso in your beer

 

[88Matt]

Got the beer! who's got the espresso?

[Storkman]

Of course, Pete may be just beta testing that function by himself.

[Chipmakr]

Does anybody have any experience with Camplete 5-axis software? We are purchasing a Mikron 5 axis machine and this is the software they use in conjunction with MasterCam.

Chipmakr,

 

You'll probably get better results if you post this in its own new thread.

[88Matt]

MR2 is going to have a whole new set of multiaxis toolpaths that are (what I hear) the cats meow. You may want to wait before spending to much on the "other" software, IMHO.

I wish....

[Chipmakr]

Yeah Thad that sounds like a good idea. The five axis stuff in this thread just made me think the people that could have the some input may already be here.

[Thad]

Gotcha bro. Anyway, I see you have all bases covered now.
