Here is a quick video trimming a solid from a surface. https://www.dropbox.com/s/7vzt8m4l7wwmugv/Trim Solid To Surface.mp4?dl=0

I made a quick video on roughly how I created the blade solids. https://www.dropbox.com/s/x69n3jvbpfd8glu/Blade.mp4?dl=0

Not if the surfaces are water tight. You can loosen the tolerance up when doing the surface to solids conversion.

I don't have a video at the moment. I used surfaces for the blades and converted them to solids. I made the center of the impeller from a revolved solid. Then I did a transform rotate of the blades (I made 1 full blade and 1 splitter bladed). Then I use Boolean to join them. Then added the fillets. I might have had to do a revolved trim on the outside of the blades. The blades have to stick into the center solid to be able to fillet them properly. With having the Model Prep tools it is easy to extend items. One Solids tool that is really powerful in Mastercam is "Trim by plane" (drop down) "Trim to surface/sheet", most people have never used this. It allows you to cut a solid body to match a complex surface. The surface has to extend past the solid on all sides.

Oh to be young and foolish again!!!!!

We were offered TS as an Educational edition (we are an educational facility), they promised the same thing...FREE posts etc....Never materialized.

Smaller than small??? :D~~~~

I thought you had or were using TopSolid?

I disagree, for me it would add time. I can use the model prep to easily alter a solid for my needs. Adding constraints is restrictive for my use. Obviously we are using it for different purposes. This impeller was 100% modeled in Mastercam.

I like the fact it is a direct modeler, for what I do it works very well. It is not an engineering software like a full version of NX or Catia.

Mastercam is excellent for modeling.

I made a video for you, see if this helps. You did not share a Mastercam file, only the solid model. https://www.dropbox.com/s/nsfz502y0r4vp8b/Surface Pocket.mp4?dl=0

You might want to consider some training. In-House Solutions has made their training materials available for free. Caminstructor offers great content as well. https://caminstructor.com/

Welcome to the forum! More information is required! What version of Mastercam? What Machine are you programming? Most important is linking a valid Mastercam file so people can offer the correct solutions without guessing.

Another idea is to run the code through the graphics settings on the HAAS control. This should pick up any code issues.

Why not use Swarf?

Laughing my a$$ off at this one!!!!! Contact your reseller.

Not dynamic but this gives some information.

I tried to get it to helix but it wouldn't go.

I bet you tell all the women you are 50!!!

Assuming it is all on one machine, do you still use multiple machine groups?

Tom are you talking Machine group with stock setup or toolpath group? If Machine group could you post a screenshot of your toolpath manager from any file like this?

That is Machsim not verify in his photo.
