Mastercam X Delivers New Ease, Speed and Power to Manufacturing Industry

CNC Software unveils the next generation of its leading CAD/CAM software

Tolland, CT – Mastercam, the world’s most widely-used CAD/CAM software* takes a leap forward with the release of Mastercam X. Dramatically streamlined and featuring powerful new features, Mastercam X has been designed to reduce programmer interaction and increase machining flexibility.

“Mastercam X marks an exciting new chapter for our software,” says CNC Software president Mark Summers. “We’ve put a lot of hard work into developing new techniques that will dramatically improve the three most important areas for an NC programmer – ease and flexibility in programming any toolpath, the toolpath calculation speed, and a superior toolpath output.”

Mastercam X delivers a new, streamlined customizable interface. Specially designed to minimize user interaction while maximizing programming options, the new interface is completely customizable and can be set to each person’s specific preferences. Mastercam’s new “smart” ribbon bar further boosts efficiency and maximizes workspace by appearing only when needed, and displaying tools specific to the job at hand.

Mastercam X features a suite of new programming tools, including the powerful new Pencil Offset Finishing toolpath. This new surface machining technique extends the crisp “cleanup” of a pencil trace toolpath across an entire part by automatically sectioning the part into logical machining areas.

Mastercam X also introduces Machine and Control Definition. These are virtual descriptions of the actual machine tool and control you will use to cut a part, allowing Mastercam to automatically customize its interface based on your CNC machine. This means that Mastercam X is aware of what the machine can and cannot do, helping ensure a correctly programmed part.

*Mastercam has the most installed seats (almost 2-to-1 over the next competitor) of any CAD/CAM program, according to the CIMdata Inc. 2005 market report. Mastercam maintains this position for the 11th year running.
