Stock Model
A precise machining stock model delivers a variety of benefits— viewing and verifying work as it progresses, performing stock model comparisons, and easily choosing existing stock for rest machining.
Mastercam gives you the power to create accurate, fully-associative stock models at any point in your machining process. You can reference the model within that project or save it as geometry for other uses. You can even quickly bring in outside CAD models to use as starting stock models for added flexibility.

New 2D HST Region Chaining
Mastercam’s 2D dynamic milling is now easier to use than ever with the introduction of Region Chaining. You can now explicitly define the area for a 2D dynamic milling toolpath by simply selecting the face to be machined and face (including non-planer faces) to be avoided. Mastercam treats the selections (even on open pockets) as complete machining chains.

Blade Expert Add-on
Mastercam Blade Expert greatly simplifies the toolpath creation process for any multi-bladed parts, including fans, propellers, impellers, turbines, marine screws, and more. There is no limit to the number of blades, splitters, or sub-splitters that can be programmed. A few highlights include a variety of powerful and flexible multiaxis roughing strategies; precise cut pattern control on blade, fillet, and floor finishing; automatic tool axis control, ensuring smooth machine motion; and full machine simulation to aid in getting the most out of the machine.

Blade Expert eliminates guess work, gives you smooth toolpaths, and dramatically reduces programming time

3D HST Hybrid Finish Filler Passes
3D High Speed Hybrid toolpaths now maintain all of the Z level cuts in the steep areas of your parts while filling in the shallow areas with scallop motion within a single Z section. These toolpaths combine the best of both worlds with waterline (constant Z) motion and scallop where needed. Now you can have both waterline and scallop motion at the same Z section, section after section.The result is a much better finish and more efficient use of the tool.

Lathe - Variable Depth Roughing
Ceramic turning inserts often experience “notching” — imperfections that quickly develop when a roughing pass repeatedly engages the material at the same point.
Mastercam’s variable depth roughing solves this. The tool moves in at an angle on the first roughing pass, so the material contact point moves. Then the tool takes the second pass in a horizontal cut, using the now angled stock to maintain variable contact. The result is a much longer insert life.
