Hello, This really isn't a mastercam question, but I know there are some very smart people on here who have the knowledge. Boss asked me today if mastercam can calculate the "flex", "twist" or spring in a stamped part. Or if you could manipulate the geometry once it was stamped out and scanned to see how much more needed to be removed from the die. I told him mastercam is a cam software with cad capabilities. That Solidworks or Inventor would have a better chance at doing that. But thought I would put it out here and see if anyone knows of or how it is done. We are trying to stamp out a impeller blade and eliminate as much of the R&D out of it. I thought I read something about a topic like this one on here before, but i couldn't find it. I would think something should at least be able to get us close. Thanks for your time and help.

Hi Not a Mastercam problem, just a shop problem here. We have a batch (3,600!!) tubes that were not threaded correctly, and was wondering what the best method for chasing the threads, and salvaging the parts was. Luckily, these were run before I got here, so I just get to FIX the mess, not get blamed for it, LOL. Anyways; Specs- 4130 Cro Mo tubing, External thread 1.125-20, threaded about .600 on one end of the part. Tube body is tapered on the other end. Aprox. 12" long. Wall thickness about .100 Any ideas what YOU would do to fix these? Thanks John Spangler
