The CAD Import & Mill Advanced Toolpaths Training Tutorial consists of projects and accompanying practice exercises. It is intended for intermediate to experienced Mastercam users who are primarily importing 3D geometry from another CAD software package. It is strongly recommended to have a good understanding of 2D machining (provided in the Mill Essentials Training Tutorial, for example) before beginning this book. Each project explains how to prepare the imported geometry using levels, how to check for problems in the geometry and how to move the geometry to set the work zero. All of the parts are designed with machinability in mind and include suggested fixtures and tool setups. Clearly laid out objectives and step previews make it easier than ever to follow along. This book covers Surface Finish and Roughing toolpaths with an emphasis put on the advanced Surface High Speed toolpaths. Other topics include STL Stock creation and its use in solid model verification and how to create and manage Stock models in the Toolpath Manager. Machine Simulation is used to check for collisions between the part, the tool and any of the machine’s components.

This sample is in color as it appears in the eBooks version. The print version is grey scale. The Mastercam 2017 Horizontal Machining with Indexing Training Tutorial includes a project that describes the use of the Plane Manager for working with Tool planes and Work offsets. The material provides users with valuable information for defining and working with different standard and non-standard planes, and takes a look at using Mastercam’s Transform Toolpaths in a multiple fixture environment. The book explains the using of the WCS for horizontal machining and how to complete a Tombstone project with multiple fixtures on each face.
