thank you guys for the response .
I uploaded file to FTP - ..X3 filestrim_surface.mcx.
I am trying to trim surface (blue s/sphere and leave middle part) .
Hi ,
Playing with X3
Create s/sphere ( delete bottom) . Than I trying trim this surface to curve .Curve is rectangle .
New surface created below original .
What do I do wrong ?
Thank you in advance
When using HSM tool paths and holder gouge checking/avoidance option I'm getting message about possible left over material . How do I know if there is or where the left over material is ?
[Cheers]
Hi ,
I have some problem with HS Rest roughing tool path.
Sometimes it work fine , but sometimes is digging in material . Usually i am using "all previous operation " option to let mastercam to calculate stock .
Never use "CAD" option .
Can some one explain how to use it ? After roughing.... i can save STL on Verify , but how to rich this file to use as stock can't figure it out .
Thank you in advance
Hi all ,
I have question for 4-5 axis users .
I tool maker and never used 4-5 axis programming on Mastercam .
I trying to learn this field of programming now .
I got file from http://www.emastercam.com/files/x2_45axis.html
And to ruin backplot for file” tut_rotery_toolpath _x2 “
It does so many unacceptable things .
1 oper : drill 4 holes . Picture rotate -180 deg when I open backplot .
If rapids visible it does some funny movements
2 opr : drill 8 holes Picture rotate -90 deg when I open backplot.
Tool does Same funny movements also
Anyone can explain me reason of this ? Is it possible to fix it ?
Thank you in advance .
Hi everybody ,
Thank you for response
In ver 9 was two ways to convert spline to arc :
"CONV to ARC" and :Break "spl to arc" .If one not working other does . In X "simplify" not always help.
I used filter in Mastercam , not always help to .
Also when i machine surfaces which represent arc with relatively big dia i have same (facets)diamond effect .
I guess setting in control an issue . Now it reconstruct shape to precisely or so .
Hi ,
We running Okuma VMC MC –v4020 . Control OSP –e100l
Super HI-NC control .
Machining mode – Standard.
If geometry spline instead of arc surface finish look like kind of “diamond “.
I guess this is wrong set up of ” reconstr shape” and filters .
Somebody has this problem? How it was solved?
Thank you in advance
what about time calculation?
Model will be in solid. Time for calculation shorter if model include surfaces only so far . Using Solid model make calculation time longer isn't it?
