Mastercam X9 Beginner Training Tutorial (Metric)
By DanielGingras in Training Tutorials (Metric)
The Mastercam X9 Beginner Training Tutorial provides a comprehensive step-by-step approach to learning the basics of three Mastercam modules: Mill Essentials (2D), Lathe and Solids. It is a great choice for an individual looking to get a broader overview of the software or an instructor looking to provide the same for his/her students.
Three mill projects, two lathe projects, and two solids projects – the same found at the start of our newly revised Mill Essentials, Lathe and Solids Training Tutorials – are combined with practice exercises and the Mastercam X9 Home Learning Edition DVD (Demo Software) to round out this compilation book.
Each tutorial systematically walks through all the procedures from Geometry Creation to Toolpath instructions, Verification and G Code Generation. A wide range of topics are covered including 2D Geometry and Solids Creation, Drilling, Tapping, Contouring, Pocketing, Circle Milling and Slot Milling. It also contains 2D High Speed Toolpaths, as well as proper Stock Setup and Tool Settings.

Mastercam X9 CAD Import and Mill Advanced Toolpaths Tutorial (METRIC) (PDF)
By DanielGingras in Training Tutorials (Metric)
The CAD Import & Mill Advanced Toolpaths Training Tutorial (METRIC) 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.

Mastercam X9 F1 Car Single Project (PDF)
By DanielGingras in Single Projects
The F1-Car project teaches students how to use a template and design an F1 car in Mastercam.
This project is more challenging as it begins with 2D geometry creation but transitions 3D solid modelling. It also teaches 3D surface toolpaths such as surface rough pocket, finish contour and finish flowline toolpaths. With a little extra work and creativity, this could easily become a C02 powered race car!
