Hi all, I find myself back on the jobs market and thought that this could be a good place to start.
I have considerable mastercam experience in the injection mould tool sector so if there is anybody in the north of england looking for a programmer/toolmaker please let me know and i will email my CV.
Thanks
Dave.
From what i understand Mastercam does not generate toolpaths from a solid. So when you toolpath a solid model MC converts solids to surfaces in the background and creates surface toolpaths.
This is what i was told years back when i used version 7/8, dont know if this still applies with X2 though.
Thankyou all!!!!!
Its nice to know that there are people that are willing to share knowledge!
I did not know that titanium could ignite! glad i asked the question!
Cheers

Hi All.
I will be required to machine some grade 2 titanium for a prototype at work. I have never cut titanium before and was hoping for some tips!!!
Operations i will be performing include surface roughing, surface finishing, drilling, tapping and slotting.
Also should this grade of titanium be hardened/heat treated? if so can job be finished then hardened or roughed, hardened and then finished?
I know this is a big list of questions but i know that you guys will have experience that you can share.
Thanks in advance.
Not to worry found vids on MC web site.

Hi all.
I have MCX2 MR1 SP1 installed on my work box:
Athlon 64 X2 Dual core 5000+ 2.6ghz
2 gig RAM
256 MB ATI RADEON X1300
running Windows VISTA
I have had no lag or crashing of MC at all on file sizes ranging upto 86 mb.
The only problem i had when i first installed MC was to do with the ATI GPU, i was getting laggy auto highlight and crazy things on screen, downloaded latest driver and in catalyst control disabled support dxt texture formats. This fixed my problems and it runs sweet as a nut now.
So far i havent seen anything that you guys are reporting and MC is open in one sesion for about 10 hours a day!
Hope this helps???
Dave.
