Efficient automated 2D-3D processing. To perform 2D-3D processing, Mastercam for SolidWorks has a powerful Automated Processing Design feature based on geometry recognition features (Feature Based Machining - FBM). By analyzing the part for the presence of specific geometry elements (surface, size, hole location, etc.), the FBM function automatically creates an effective processing strategy for recognized elements. Among the main functions, the following should be noted: * Facing in case of an allowance above the surface of the part.


-Handling open, nested and pass-through pockets.
-The trajectory of roughing and additional processing for each pocket.
-Recognizing holes and creating centering, drilling, unfolding, chamfering, and threading operations according to predetermined criteria.
Rough and fair 3D processing, including additional processing.
The core sample effectively removes the bulk stock.
High-speed processing (VSO) provides the technology of the fastest processing and obtaining excellent surface quality of products. Mastercam for SolidWorks includes a set of fully associative high-speed machining paths that allow you to maximize the power of your CNC equipment.
-The "Basic Sampling" and "Cleaning the Area" strategies effectively remove the main volume of the allowance due to the use of trajectories that can be adjusted to "peel" the workpiece or "gnaw" the material from the cavities.
-The "Additional Processing" strategy smoothly removes the stock remaining from previous rough passes.
-Using a constant 3D step between the aisles, the finishing "Comb" strategy forms the same surface quality (roughness) on the inclined and flat surfaces of the part.
- The "Horizontal areas" finishing strategy quickly processes flat horizontal surfaces of a part.
-"Spiral", "Radial" and "Raster"
-The "pencil" strategy creates tool movements along the intersection lines of the faces of a solid in order to process hard-to-reach areas of the part.
Reliable verification of trajectories
Verification of processing a solid body with an imitation of material removal allows you to check the trajectories before they are actually tested on the machine.
Mastercam gives you the assurance that processing of any level of complexity is possible on your equipment. Using the tools available in Mastercam for toolpath verification tools, you can easily make sure that paths and movements are created exactly as you wanted.
-View and measurement of the part are available during the verification process of processing a solid part from a solid workpiece. During simulation processing, the tool and cartridge are displayed and checked for cutting. video
-It is possible to draw trajectories using the Backplot tool and get the processing cycle time. Available to dynamically view all the necessary information about the instrument and operations at any point of the trajectory, as well as scaling individual areas for a more detailed view.
-Quick verification of 2D trajectories with a drawing tool to check the final result of finishing operations.
Effective tools for creating control programs and trajectory control The tool path is only part of what forms a good control program as a result. Total path control, as well as machine and CNC settings, optimize each operation as much as possible.
-Full control of all aspects of the tool inlet and outlet.
-Security zones help to ensure the safety of tool retraction movements when working with any type of paths.
-Significant reduction in program size through the use of a trajectory filter.
-Use of all types of tools: ball, disc, bevel, etc.
-User-configurable tool and material libraries automatically calculate feed rates and spindle speeds.
-Trajectory Manager stores the operations of all your projects in one place Fast creation, editing and verification of trajectories or copying and pasting parameters from one operation to another. Using equipment groups to organize operations and simplify copying / pasting toolpaths and tool information from one machine group to another.
