Hi all, can anybody tell me if mastercam is good software for cutting electrodes? I know worknc they have a z-level remachine and you can trim programs as much as you want. Does the new mastercam 2017 have the trimming and remach capibilitles?

Mastercam will cut electrodes as well as cores and cavities.  You might have to do some prep work on your geometry to get what you want.  It does not have the trim that WorkNC has.  It's a nice feature to get rid of unnecessary cutting but it's not a must.  I recommend that you find a local mold shop that uses MC and ask them if you can have a looky loo.

I have been machining Electrodes with mastercam for 10 years now. As mentioned earlier you may need another software to manipulate the solid model. 2017 solids handling is a lot better than when I started electrode machining with X2..
