CNC Software Inc., Tolland, Conn has released Mastercare Version 7 a CAD/CAM package with novel features such as associativity, leftover removal, and solids-based toolpath verification.
The software's 2 1/2-axis machining brings cloyed associativity to pocketing, contouring, and drilling. Geometry and toolpath are linked in such a manner that when model or tooling information is changed, the software generates an updated toolpath.
Among Version 7's fresh machining features is multi-surface scallop machining, which delivers a consistent finish across spilled surfaces. In addition, the
