  19. eMastercam.com would like to congratulate Mastercam on their 35th Anniversary! The year 2018 marks the 35th anniversary of CNC Software, Inc., developers of Mastercam CAD/CAM software. In 1983, two brothers, Mark and Jack Summers, came up with a new concept for programming CNC (Computer-Numerical-Control) machine tools. A third brother, Brian Summers, soon joined and together they developed a PC-based CAD/CAM software package that laid the foundation for what would be Mastercam, the world’s most widely used CAD/CAM software. * “It started out as a simple idea,” says Chairman Mark Summers. “I was a machinist. My brother was a mathematician. We combined our experience to put what was out of reach for most shops – NC programming software – right onto their desktops.” In the 35 years that followed, they have advanced dozens of important new technologies for those shops, including “smart” toolpaths, hybrid machining, mill-turn, multiaxis, their proprietary Dynamic Motion technology, as well as basic packages for milling, turning, and wire EDM. All of this couldn’t be possible without the valuable feedback from the industry and from what’s most important to CNC Software, the user base. In addition to manufacturers, the company has focused on selling and supporting Mastercam in the education sector since its inception. They first called the software program “Meghan,” named after Mark Summers’ eldest daughter, and then changed to “Mastercam” as a clearer descriptive of the software’s primary function. Today, Meghan is the CEO and Mastercam is the most widely used CAD/CAM software in the world, closing in on almost a quarter million installations at the end of 2017. “Mastercam users help drive our innovation,” says CEO Meghan West. “We’re in constant contact with shops, machine tool builders, educators, tooling suppliers, and they all help us focus on what shops need the most now and in the future, so we can deliver.” “One of the biggest reasons for our success is our global dealer network – probably the largest and most experienced in the CAM industry,” continues West. “They are true partners with our customers, offering advice, training, and applications experience to Mastercam users around the world. We’re also extremely proud to be the number one CAD/CAM program being taught by technology teachers in schools, colleges, and universities. Helping to train the next generation of skilled manufacturing personnel is an important mission of ours.” About Mastercam’s Global Headquarters Shortly after CNC Software started in Massachusetts, the company moved its base of operations to an office in Vernon, Connecticut. After a brief move to an industrial park, CNC Software built corporate headquarters in Tolland, Connecticut. When it outgrew that space, the Summers established the company’s corporate headquarters and training facility in a new, 38,000 sq. ft. building in the same town. The building was thoughtfully designed as a world-class “green” facility and built for expandability and environmental friendliness. In 2007, ground broke for a 12,000 sq. ft. addition to house a fully functioning Manufacturing Lab with advanced equipment for Mastercam product research and development. * According to CIMdata, Inc.
  20. Hi, We have Renishaw probe subprograms installed on our HAAS machine and they all call out P9000 codes, and when we post from Mastercam/Renishaw ProductivityPlus we are getting P2000 codes. The Machine gives us a Alarm 314. I changed the programs into the 9000 range but it still gives us a P9109A1 which also gives us the Alarm 314. Does anyone have a solution to this problem? Testing REV2..NC
  21. I got error upon opening mastercam 5 out of the blue not sure why. During opening : “Warning –error opening \ bnci.bin”
  22. We've recently been receiving a lot of IT security questionnaires from our customers. They're wondering what we're doing to make sure their IP is protected from theft and prying eyes. One of the many questions across all of the questionnaires is, Do you use least privilege practices at the local workstation? My answer has to be no, because I give those who use MasterCAM local admin. I want to be able to change that answer to yes and I'd like to start by only giving MasterCAM users necessary access to the local computer. Can anyone give me a definitive list of locations on the local computer where MasterCAM needs write or modify access? For instance, on first execution, to which registry locations does the user need to write/modify? Are there any other locations that I need to keep in mind? Right now my list contains: %Program Files%\McamXXXX (Full Control) %SystemDrive%\Users\Public\Documents\shared McamXXXX (Full Control) %UserProfile%\Documents\my McamXXXX (Full Control) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\CNC Software, Inc. HKEY_LOCAL_COMPUTER\Software\CNC Software, Inc. Thanks for the help.
  23. Hey first time posting so if this isn't the correct place forgive me. I want my post to have custom code before every tool change. is there a way to make this happen I'm using 2018 with cimco
  24. Hello, I am trying to include a knurling tool in the list of turning tools that we use. I tried searching of ways to do that but being fairly new to MasterCAM would appreciate a direction to a more clearer explanation or a step by step process, if possible. Thank you.
