Mastercam 2024
Mastercam 2024 is the latest version of Mastercam, the world’s leading CAD/CAM software. It was released in June 2023, and includes dozens of new features and enhancements.
Some of the key new features in Mastercam 2024 include:
- B-Axis Contour Enhancements: These enhancements can be used to create smooth, continuous B-axis contours on complex parts. For example, a machine shop that makes medical devices could use these enhancements to create precise, smooth contours on implants.
- Turret Mounted Angled Milling Heads: This new feature can be used to create toolpaths on angled planes using turret-mounted tools. This can save time and improve accuracy, especially for parts that have complex features. For example, a machine shop that makes aerospace components could use this feature to create toolpaths on angled planes for turbine blades.
- Process Hole Improvements: These improvements make it easier to create and apply process holes to parts. Process holes are used to hold parts in place during machining, and the new improvements in Mastercam 2024 can help to ensure that the holes are created accurately and efficiently. For example, a machine shop that makes molds could use these improvements to create process holes for holding the mold in place during machining.
- Holemaking Enhancements: These enhancements include new holemaking strategies and the ability to smooth the edges of solid holes. The new holemaking strategies can help to improve the accuracy and efficiency of holemaking, and the ability to smooth the edges of solid holes can improve the surface finish of the part. For example, a machine shop that makes machined components could use these enhancements to create holes that are accurate, efficient, and have a smooth surface finish.
- Dynamic Motion – Maximize Engagement: This new feature helps you to optimize tool engagement for better machining performance. This can help to reduce tool wear and improve the surface finish of the part. For example, a machine shop that makes precision parts could use this feature to optimize tool engagement for better machining performance.
In addition to these new features, Mastercam 2024 also includes a number of other enhancements, such as:
- A new Gview cube that provides a more graphical way to show plane orientation.
- New Machine Group Setup Stock selection methods.
- The ability to save and load toolpath defaults lists.
- Improvements to the Process Manager.
- And much more.
If you are currently using Mastercam, we encourage you to upgrade to Mastercam 2024. The new features and enhancements can help you to improve your machining productivity and reduce overall production costs.
No More Waiting for Patches: Mastercam 2024 CAM Software is more Stable and Reliable
