Headquartered in Connecticut, USA, CNC Software is a developer of manufacturing solutions via CAD/CAM software more specifically through the Mastercam software. The company will be seen exhibiting at the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) 2018 that is scheduled to be held from September 10–15, 2018 in Illinois, USA.

At the trade fair, the company has plans to display its newly released software Mastercam 2019. Equipped with new and enhanced features such as 2D through multi-axis milling automation; CAD and model preparation improvements; expanded 3D tooling; accelerated finishing; and powerful turning and mill-turn enhancements, the software increases machining productivity and also proves beneficial to reduce the overall production costs.

Enhanced features

Apart from this, the software also offers re-engineered chamfering, holemaking strategies along with new multi-axis deburring features that lead to time savings. In addition to this, the new milling toolpath strategies which include high speed equal scallop toolpath ensure improvements in machining performance and surface finish. Mastercam 2019 also offers additional support for the Sandvik Coromant PrimeTurning method, enhanced grooving, bar feed, and other features for turning and mill-turn applications, plus new lathe and Swiss-style machine support.

One of the highlights of the new software is its capability to reduce job setup time and the time required for preparation of part machining and programming. This becomes possible owing to the software’s enhanced CAD functionality and 3D model import support, improved part preparation and fixture setup tools, additional PowerSurface capabilities, and expanded support for Model-Based Definition (MBD).

Precise results

With the software’s expanded digital tool library capability one is assured of accurate results. 3D tool assembly models also provide access to the latest cutting tool technology, and updates for Sandvik Coromant CoroPlus and MachiningCloud platforms are available. Further, Mastercam 2019 expands accelerated finishing with support for taper and lens style tools aimed at 75% cycle time improvement for finishing operations with superior surface finish quality.

With improvements to toolpath and machine simulation, toolpath graphics, and other verification and analysis tools, Mastercam 2019 provides greater programming assurance and allows for better, more informed decisions before a job is run. These improvements include support for block drilling multiple holes simultaneously and better axis control in simulation, allowing you to easily check machine limits or collision checking.

Along with the Mastercam software many other interesting products, technologies and solutions will be exhibited at IMTS 2018. The show will also focus on diverse segments of the industry such as aerospace, automotives, machine shops, medical and power generation. Catch you at the show!
