Mastercam X6 Beginner Training Tutorial (PDF)
By DanielGingras in Training Tutorials (Imperial)
The Mastercam X6 Beginner Training Tutorial provides a comprehensive step-by-step approach to learning the basics of three Mastercam modules: Mill Level 1 (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.
Six mill projects, two lathe projects, and three solid projects – the same found at the start of our newly revised Mill Level 1, Lathe and Solids Training Tutorials – are combined with 11 practice exercises and the Mastercam X6 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. In nearly 800 pages, 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, with further explanations given for the use of transforming toolpaths, as well as proper Stock Setup and Tool Settings. The book also includes a General Notes chapter with useful tools and shortcuts that make the software even easier to use. You will also find a description of the 2D toolpath parameters of the Solid menu and Operations Manager.
For users looking to explore Mastercam more deeply, it is suggested to look at our titles dedicated to each topic; Mill Level 1 Training Tutorial, Lathe Training Tutorial and Solids Training Tutorial. For example, the Mill Level 3 Training Tutorial would better follow the Mill Level 1 text for example, as it contains an extra 4 mill-related tutorials beyond what is found in the Beginner Training Tutorial.

Mastercam X6 Advanced Multiaxis Training Tutorial (PDF)
By DanielGingras in Training Tutorials (Imperial)
Intended for the advanced Mastercam user, this book contains new projects demonstrating a variety of Advanced Multiaxis milling applications. The initial tutorials introduce Mastercam’s simplified multiaxis user interface featuring custom application toolpaths, and they later transition to the more advanced interface.
Topics include custom application toolpaths such as Projection, Swarf milling, Impeler floor surface and Impeller blade swarf finish toolpaths. From the Wireframe toolpath family, you will learn how to use Parallel to multiple curves and Morph between two curves. You will also generate rough and finish toolpaths from the Surface/Solid toolpath family, such as Morph between two surfaces, Parallel cuts and Parallel to surface.
Additionally, a special project is designed specifically to familiarize you with different Collision control strategies and how to verify the toolpaths using the new machine simulation module that combines toolpath backplot mode and material removal mode with collision detections.

Mastercam X5 Handbook Volume 3 (PDF)
By DanielGingras in Handbooks
The Mastercam X5 Handbook Volume 3 is an excellent resource that teaches the theory of multiaxis machining with Mastercam. The material intertwines conceptual subject matter with practical applications suitable for intermediates and those that have completed Volume 1 and 2.
This book covers the classic family of multiaxis toolpaths including Drill 5-axis, Curve 5-axis, Swarf 5-axis, Multiaxis Flowline and Multiaxis Multi-surfaces as well as the Drill & Circle Mill family. More advanced toolpaths are then outlined starting with the custom application toolpaths and selections from the wireframe, surface and solids families. The book touches on the usefulness of Machine Simulation; used to check for collisions between the part, the tool and any of the machine’s components.

Mastercam X6 Mill level 3 Training Tutorial (PDF)
By DanielGingras in Training Tutorials (Imperial)
The Mastercam X6 Mill Level 3 Training Tutorial gets a total refresh with 7 new projects and 7 accompanying practice exercises that span a wide degree of complexity. It is strongly recommended to have a good understanding of 2D machining (provided in the Mill Level 1 Training Tutorial, for example) before beginning this book.
All of the parts are designed with machinability in mind and include suggested fixtures and tool setups. Clearly laid out objectives and dimensioned step previews make it easier than ever to follow along.
Over 900 pages of content cover 3D wireframe and surface geometry creation, Surface Finish and Roughing toolpaths. An emphasis is put on the advanced Surface High Speed Toolpaths, including the new X6 High Speed Toolpaths such as OptiRest, OptiArea and OptiCore, STL Stock creation and its use in solid model verification. Also covered is how to create and manage Stock models in the Toolpath Manager. Machine Simulation is also used to check for collisions between the part, the tool and any of the machine’s components. Finally, the General Notes chapter provides useful tools, shortcuts and 3D toolpath parameter descriptions.

Mastercam X6 Intro to Multiaxis Training Tutorial (PDF)
By DanielGingras in Training Tutorials (Imperial)
The Mastercam X6 Multiaxis Training Tutorial is intended for the advanced Mastercam user wishing to learn Mastercam Multiaxis programming. A firm grasp on both 2D and 3D machining is required and can be attained by completing the Mill Level 1 and Mill Level 3 Training Tutorials.
The Intro to Multiaxis Training Tutorial is a new book that replaces the previous 4/5 Axis Training Tutorial. It covers the different applications that are available by configuring the Rotary Axis Control page including: Rotary axis positioning and Axis substitution. The book will also cover the Multiaxis Classic family toolpaths: Rotary, Curve, Swarf, Flow, Msurf, and Port. A special tutorial is dedicated to teaching how to drill and and circle mill holes using Multiaxis toolpaths. Specific parameters such as Cut patterns, Tool Axis Control, Limits, Collision Control, Linking and more are described in detail. The contents also describe how to verify the toolpaths using the new Machine Simulation module that combines toolpath backplot mode and material removal mode with collision detections. In total, there are over 500 pages dedicated to Multiaxis concepts.
