A General Notes chapter provides useful tools, shortcuts and toolpath parameter descriptions. Details on Stock Transfer, Stock Flip, Stock Advance and tailstock toolpaths, in addition to instruction on importing a SolidWorks file and using the new Turn Profile command to create Geometry and a VTL tutorial are also found within.

More advanced C-Axis toolpaths such as Face Contour, Cross Contouring, C-Axis Contour, Face Drilling, Cross Drilling and C-Axis drill follow later in the book. The tutorials introduce 2D, and later 3D geometry creation along with detailed coverage of 2D toolpaths such as Face, Rough, Finish, Drilling, Grooving, Grooving on an angle, Inside Boring, Cutoff, Threading and Canned Cycles for Rough and Finish.


The Lathe Training Tutorial is ideal for beginners and current Mastercam users alike. The material emphasizes the machinability of parts with suggested fixtures, setup sheets & more. The Mastercam X5 Lathe Training Tutorial consists of 9 brand new part-oriented tutorials, and 9 practice exercises that provide users with an excellent foundation in Lathe. Finally, the General Notes chapter provides useful tools, shortcuts and 3D toolpath parameter descriptions. Machine Simulation is also used to check for collisions between the part, the tool and any of the machine’s components. An emphasis is put on the advanced Surface High Speed Toolpaths, including the new X5 High Speed Toolpaths, STL Stock creation and its use in solid model verification. Over 950 pages of content cover 3D wireframe and surface geometry creation, Surface Finish and Roughing toolpaths. Clearly laid out objectives and dimensioned step previews make it easier than ever to follow along. It is strongly recommended to have a good understanding of 2D machining (provided in the Mill Level 1 Training Tutorial, for example) before beginning this book.Īll of the parts are designed with machinability in mind and include suggested fixtures and tool setups. The Mastercam X5 Mill Level 3 Training Tutorial gets a total refresh with 7 new projects and 7 accompanying practice exercises that span a wide degree of complexity.
#MASTERCAM X5 SOLIDS TRAINING TUTORIAL HOW TO#
Over 900 pages cover a multitude of topics including 2D geometry and solids creation, toolsettings, stock setup, drilling, tapping, contouring, pocketing, circle milling,slot milling, 2D High Speed Toolpaths, how to import a solid and using the WCSin multiple fixture applications. A General Notes chapter is included that outlines useful tools, shortcuts and 2D toolpath parameter descriptions. Its gradual progression lendsway to more advanced concepts such as multiple setup scenarios and 2D HighSpeed Toolpaths.

This book begins with the absolute basics by introducing the Mastercam user interface and it will have you creating geometry, drilling and creating contour toolpaths before you know it. The combinationof new tutorials, practice exercises and quizzes found within the book deliveran excellent package of material covering virtually all aspects of 2Dmachining. Now completely revamped, our refreshing new layout presentsthe material clearly, logically and more thoroughly than ever before! The Mastercam X5 Mill Level 1 Training Tutorial brings with it 10 brand new tutorials and 10 newexercises for X5.
