Mastercam's High Speed Machining

A compilation of CNC cutting using Mastercam's high speed machining toolpaths.

Mastercam Sets Another Record Month

For the ninth consecutive month, CNC Software has broken the sales record set by the best previously recorded month! New Mastercam seats and customers updating to the current release have all contributed to our success.

Sales for 11 of the past 12 months have beaten previous sales records that have stood since the company started in 1984. “The sales trend that we are experiencing shows that Mastercam customers, new and old, are not only taking advantage of the many enhancements that we have offered over the past two years, but are also profiting because of them,” says Steve Bertrand, Director of Corporate Sales. “In addition to new seats sold, we are experiencing an increase in orders for additional seats from existing customers, which is a true testament to this fact.”

We would like to thank our customers for their loyalty and support throughout the years. We couldn’t have gotten this far without you!

Faster Toolpath Regeneration

Q: Is there a way I can speed up my toolpath regeneration in Mastercam?

A: If it seems to take too long to generate, display, or regenerate toolpaths, check your Tool Display settings. Click the Tool Display button on the Toolpath Parameters tab. Check for either of the following:

• If a Run Delay has been set, Mastercam will pause between each toolpath move for the number of seconds displayed in the dialog box.
• If the Interpolate option has been selected, Mastercam will display the toolpath in segments of the specified step size.
