Mastercam VB Script for 5-Axis

[Guest MTB Technical Services]

Below is the URL for a Mastercam VB Script I wrote for debugging 5-Axis Posts.

 

It allows the user to select a rotary configuration, pick individual individual vectors and will then produce a basic text report

with the vector and angular data. Simply pressing [ESC] allows the user to exit the script at any time.

 

If nothing else, the math in the script gives users a good idea how the angles are calculated.

FWIW, I've got a series of articles on demystifying 5-axis on my Tech Blog.
