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
-
I know , but This is a simple testpart , just so its easy to show you , the parts i do HERE on my Factor is more complicated geometry ,, its important that its one oper because of need for optimal surface through the whole port
-
thanks to you all i have now done all the solutions you came up with , see attached mcx file nothing really produces a satisfying result , but im glad that that there will be a solution soon for the morph/spiral . for the solution Aaron came with the bottom of the toolpath is missing surfaces on level 3 moduleworks question - 5 toolpaths.mcam
-
have now tried with Coons surface and then a flowline toolpath ,,,, better but still not good and also the Coons toolpath ,,, the same
-
i totally agree ,,, i thought maybe there was a way to fill in extra passes or calculate pattern/passes according to the tool rather than the surface
-
could be possible in the example i uploaded , but often these are multisurfs and not easy to arrange so that its possible to use Coons it would be best for me to use moduleworks
-
i want 3axis motion in this occasion
-
ok ,,, im curious if any other have a solution ? , its a problem for me often for the tol. , it is just this test part , i normally use 0,01 mm
-
anybody knows how to make the morph toolpath , so the pattern is more equal ( like oper 2 ) , so the tool does like the old "blend " toolpath the moduleworks toolpath is better in many occations since it can calculate the correct pos for start - end , but not good with this geometry i have made a test part and attached , anybody ? moduleworks question.mcam
-
need help file or manual for moduleworks toolpaths

YES ,,, i use it instead of a blend toolpath . i think i have found the solution for my problem ( output pattern ) ,,, thanks anybody have a newer Help fil ?? , this is from 2013 -
