That doesn't look like a 5 axis cut though. Why not use a 3 axis toolpath to give you the control you need. 

I upload my files on dropbox. You can see it.

That the only cracked version you could get?

 

That why you can't ask your reseller?  

I am working as a part time-reseller in VietNam, and I can not ask a technical from Malaysia or Singapore go to VietNam to show me more about 5 axis. The price is expensive.

Mastercam have some issue that I can not underestand.

X6 version, swarf 5 axis have lead in and lead out each depth of cut.

x8 version, swarf 5 axis do not have lead in and lead out each depth of cut.

I try both swarf 5 axis and swarf milling and I see some difference. In that case swarf 5 axis work good, in some case swarf milling work good and I do not know why because the shape of part is similar.

I think someone in this forum have the same problem.

Cutting strategy seems fine to me. Why don't you just save yourself the grief and run your toolpaths in Catia?

I have to using mastercam 5 axis. And I try to make a best tool path.

You can see my program below. I think the program is ok, and the question is: How can I make a better tool path and Is there any way to program faster?

I take time to create surface and resolve it.

Perhaps some basic training is in order because it sounds as though you have none at all....

 

We try to help on the forum but we cannot replace training.....I would suggest contacting your reseller directly and setting something up to explain and teach you.

Could you make a swarf 5 axis tool path with step surface in this part for me?

Confirmed Pirate

I find that in Mastercam X6, swarf 5 axis  have better entry and exit. Mastercam x8 may error in this tool path.

Check your system requirement of your computer. Your computer is not satisfy the requirement system of MasterCam x8

Hi everyone,

  This part look quite difficult for holding and clamping. The biggest problem is there is not enough plane for holding and clamping. In this case, I will have 3 operations. OP1 rough leave 0.5mm stock on vise jaw. op2 rough and finish on vise jaw. op3 finish the last on fixture.

  Thank for reading.

 Well, I have checked it. I changed my front and close MC, after opening MC my setting for front it changed as I want. 

You can change the front size in the operation follow the pic 

I am working with mastercam and I hope someone can help me improve my ability of creating program. You only give me a part or 2d drawing and I will make a program for you and you review my program, or any one have a small question can post in here. I will answer for you. Here is my sample program.

sorry, I can not upload my file on this site.

Do you have specific drawing or 3d model? You need a setup sheet guide how to setup or a program ?

I can not upload my program on this site. 

I upload in *.rar file and *.mc file but " Error You aren't permitted to upload this kind of file"

Anyone help me?

Well, it is quite late but this is my project.I hope I can access another project in this forum, anyone help me?
