Mastercam 2017 has a suite of programming tools for machining jobs. It features a new ribbon interface, making it easier to find functions to complete tasks. The ribbon tabs group similar functions and displays them in order from simple to more complex.
The dynamic motion technology cuts machine time by as much as 75 percent. New micro lifts also use a line-of-sight approach to move the tool where it needs to go through unobstructed areas. This results in reposition moves that are more efficient and less complex.
In addition, the maximum stock engagement feature for select 3D high speed finishing toolpaths limit how deeply the cutter engages uncut material and protects smaller tools from taking too heavy of a cut.
