Mastercam Demonstrates How to Save Time, Money, and Tooling with Dynamic Machining at Westec 2010


Los Angeles, CA - CNC Software, Inc., will spotlight the latest in their line of powerful Mastercam machining software, with the most notable being Dynamic Machining. All products will be showcased in booth # 2145 at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, CA, March 23-25.

Dynamic Machining creates a constantly adapting toolpath that delivers more consistent cutting conditions, allows use of the entire tool flute length, often eliminating the need for multiple depth cuts. This allows dramatic savings, with some Mastercam users reporting more than 50% reduction in cutting time, and longer tool life.

Dynamic Machining also offers flexible retract options to keep the tool down in smaller parts, as well as rapid retract on larger parts. In addition, the special "micro lift" option will retract the tool slightly off the bottom when moving to the next cut. This decreases the amount of heat generated in the part and also helps with chip evacuation.

Highly efficient entry methods along with customizable entry speeds and feeds, give you flexibility regardless of the material or cutter style being used. Dynamic Machining's specialized motion works equally well with both "closed" and "open" parts.
