Mastercam Videos

Check out the videos below to clearly see the impact that Mastercam can have on your manufacturing operations. Each video portrays the different features and benefits of Mastercam that have helped make it the world's most popular CAD/CAM software.

Mastercam Machines Motorcycle Wheels

A member of the Mastercam Support team designed some new motorcycle wheels for his Harley and handed the project over to our Applications Engineers. They got busy in the Mastercam machine shop testing some toolpaths and making some slick new wheels for the bike. Watch the progress and see the final results.

Mastercam Machine Simulation

Mastercam's Machine Simulation is the bridge between generating toolpaths in Mastercam and cutting them on the machine. It's just another valuable tool in your toolbox.

Watch as Mastercam applies its new dynamic mill technology to contouring for faster, more efficient machining. Depth of cut 100% of cutter diameter which means only one pass needs to be taken. A more consistent load on the tool results in a faster cut time.

Mastercam World Class Machining: Lathe Machining a Globe

With the help of Mastercam, watch as this lathe performs backturning then transfers the part to the front spindle for turning and milling. The final product is a detailed globe with an impressive look.

Mastercam Head Porting

Mastercam programs a precision head port on a CNC vertical machining center with a variety of new 5-axis toolpaths. The high tolerance and thin walls posed a challenge, but the finished result was spot on. View the benefits of Mastercam X5 OptiRough, HST rough rest machining, and Port5ax.

OptiRough PortMaster

View the benefits of Mastercam X5's OptiRough toolpath and see how it makes roughing dramatically faster.

X5 3D OptiRough vs. V9 Surface Pocket/V9 Rest Mill

Watch a side-by-side comparision of Mastercam X5's 3D OptiRough toolpath and Version 9's Surface Pocket/V9 Rest Mill toolpath. Each machining step regarding 3D OptiRough toolpath is explained as it is happening. The total machining time between the 3D OptiRough and the Surface Rough Pocket/3D Rest Mill is quite significant and proves that updating to X5 saves your company valuable machining time.

Tip to Transition from Mastercam V9 to the X Platform



We understand that it's tough to transition from something you are familiar with to something that you are not. Many Version 9 or earlier users have been holding off making this transition to Mastercam X for that very reason. There are so many features that they have used for so many years, for instance HotKeys, Interface, and toolpaths (just to name a few) and they don't want these features to change. Yes, the interface is different, but the toolpaths that V9 users are used to are still there--as are the HotKeys and a lot more! Mastercam X was designed to make your job easier with less key strokes and faster processing for toolpaths. We want to make it easier for you to give it a try.

Extreme Machining



Check out some extreme Mastercam 5-axis machining choreography - just for the fun of it.

Mastercam Lathe Golden Egg



Watch as Mastercam turns a golden egg. The steps shown in the video that are taken to turn a golden egg with Mastercam include: canned cycle roughing, grooving cycle, finish contour turning, part transfer for multiple operations in one step, part-off, rough turning of excess material from back and blending contours together.

Mastercam's new Dynamic Mill gives you the ability to utilize the entire flute length of the cutting tool while maintaining more consistent cutting conditions. This technique saves cutting time while reducing wear on your tooling and machines.
