It also expands the machining region to ensure the tool does not engage a lot of material on the very first pass due to an unknown exact block size. 2D HST dynamic mill has added first pass feed reduction and first pass offset to the Cut Parameters page, allowing for safer motion when the tool is entering material from the outside. Mastercam's 2D high-speed tool paths (HST) now support multi-core processing on tool paths with multiple machining regions. After you enter an inspection parameter, the tool will retract and trigger an inspection code at the next linking move. Tool inspection was added to many multi-axis tool paths, including Blade Expert and Port Expert. Safety Zone improvements make defining and editing the safety zone much easier. It supports offset or Dynamic style strategies, and multiple depth floors. It allows the easy creation of pocketing tool paths to rough out pockets that have a curved floor surface. Multi-axis roughing is a new strategy added for X8. Mastercam X8 further hones and expands our Dynamic Motion engine by adding new options for even more control over the final cuts and better wear on your tools. The results include radically shorter cycle times, less wear and breakage of tools, and less wear on machines. They also use a proprietary set of rules to analyze tool engagement and the material removal, constantly changing the cut motion based on what the tool will encounter at the machine, optimizing the motion before the first chip is cut. In order to create the smoothest, most efficient cutting motion possible, Dynamic tool paths calculate more than just the simple motion of the tool. Mastercam's Dynamic Motion technology is a new and exciting approach to creating tool paths. Some of the most significant highlights and functionality in Mastercam X8 Mill include: Dynamic Motion technology, 2D machining, and multi-axis features combine with dozens of additional new enhancements in a package intended to improve shop floor productivity. Tolland, Connecticut – Mastercam X8 Mill offers expanded machining flexibility and an increased emphasis on speed and automation.
