my mastercam and also Temp is on C drive ( ssd ) , but shared mastercam folder is on the NAS ( for easier access among other mastercam installations ) whether i have shading on or off doesnt matter , regarding slow when using Solid Chaining ,,, what do you think about mastercam recalculating spun profile everytime , no matter if the solid is changed or not graphics card is up to date

the PC i think is ok , have no other problems than slow when using Solid Chaining Win 10 Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-10900 CPU @ 2.80GHz 2.81 GHz RAM 32,0 GB 64-bit operativsystem, x64 Nvidia Quadro P 2200 anybody got similar problem ?

when using solid chaining in lathe , the system becomes very, very slow , especially on bigger complex parts , dialogs can take up to 2-3 minutes to open every time . for me to see mastercam recalculates the spun profile every time a dialog is opened and modified , the right way to do it would be that mastercam only recalculetes the profile if solid is changed if you instead uses wireframe spun profile one time , the dialogs opens instant and no problems anybody got a solution for this problem ?

anybody knows if mastercam will be making live b axis turning ( with 3d tools ) ( A axis on milling MT machines ) ,, or does an add-on exist with this functionality ? curve 5 axis can be used but code has to be edited and inserted manually , does not have the flexibility that this example shows .

it worked with dropbox client , instead of direct download , thanks

The latest 2019 version from " so not a guru " stops downloading from Dropbox after 80 Mb , have tried also yesterday , is the file complete ?

i once saw a strategy in adv. multiaxis machining that could do automatic 3+2 surfacemilling am i wrong ? , i cant find it now , anybode can help ? i have a part now that has a whole lot of machining , and undercuts , maybe it could help me ?

thanks , i knew that would be nice with a seperate installer for toolmanager in future releases

anyone know if Toolmanager is available as standalone installer ? it does not require the hasp to be in the computer i have recognised i have a Zoller presetter , and would be very nice to have the toolmanager installed ,,, but of course not the complete mastercam package

thanks , i did it via boolean operations in solidworks , its pretty accurate , but not 100 pct . a thing for mastercam to consider for the future releases today manufacturers of end mills for dynamic mill often specify volume instead of cutting time , thats why i wanted to do this

anybody know a way to calculate volume removed of a set of toolpaths in verify , simulation ?

i have had the same thoughts about DNMG ( or a positive 55 deg insert ) adjusted so that upper and lower lead angle is the same and using a rather big nose rad. so that i dont get problems with chips up the insert on my Integrex i will try this next time i have an approiate job .

i installed the add-on and tried to make a few toolpaths . se attached mcam file , and picture isnt it possible to mak a a zig zag toolpath ? , so that the tool goes forward and back without retracts ? on the sandvik website i see that to tool is designed to go in both directions i can make it go forward og backward , but not zig zag prime-test.mcam

thanks ,,, i have downloaded and installed is it an inhouse product ? , since it wasnt in the mcam install media

Have installed mcam 2018 mill and turn ,,, but i cant see the sandvik Prime turning cycles ? anybody know , is it an add on ? anybody got a sample mcam sample file ? http://www.mastercam.com/en-us/Communities/Partners/Cutting-Tool-Partners/PrimeTurning
