Morph Between 2 Surfaces mastercam Multiaxis Machinig by PROF. NILESH GUNJAL (ME CAD/CAM)
Показать описание
This tutorial introduces the concepts of multiaxis machining, beginning with the
machine architecture and ending with multiaxis toolpath creation. Multiaxis toolpaths are basically the familiar contour, pocket, and surface toolpaths in X,Y, and Z,
with rotational motion added in A, B, and C. The available axes vary based on your
particular machine setup.
The workflow is consistent regardless of the Multiaxis toolpath selected.
Mastercam’s Multiaxis interface follows a uniform structure through the toolpathing
process. Select the toolpath family, select a toolpath type, progress from top to
bottom through the tree style interface, enter parameters on the necessary pages,
and generate the toolpath. Additional tools such as Backplot and Machine
Simulation allow you to review your toolpath before cutting begins on the machine.
You will gain a general understanding of the multiaxis process by completing this
tutorial. The information contained in these pages will allow you to begin gaining
the knowledge and confidenceto work with Mastercam’s Multiaxis toolpaths.
Further information on multiaxis toolpaths can be found in subsequent Focus Series
multiaxis tutorials.
Tutorial Goals
Understand the basic architecture of a multiaxis machine
Review the controls of a multiaxis toolpath: cut pattern, tool axis control,
and tool tip control
Follow the workflow of Mastercam’s Multiaxis toolpath interface
Create and modify a Multiaxis Curve toolpath
Create and modify a Multiaxis Drill toolpath
Introduction to Multiaxis Toolpath Requirements
Mastercam X6 with Mill Level 1 or Mastercam Router, or higher level seat
Curve 5-axis / Drill 5-axis add-on (included in the Multiaxis add-on)
IMPORTANT: Screen colors in the tutorial pictures were modified to
enhance image quality; they may not match your Mastercam settings or
the tutorial results. These color differences do not affect the lesson or
the exercise results.

General Tutorial Requirements
All Mastercam tutorials have the following general requirements:
You must be comfortable using the Windows
®
operating system.
The tutorials cannot be used withMastercam Demo/Home Learning
Edition (HLE). The Demo/HLE file format (EMCX-6) is different from
Mastercam (MCX-6), and basic Mastercam functions, such as file
conversions and posting, are unavailable.
Each lesson in the tutorial builds on the mastery of preceding lesson’s skills.
We recommend that you complete them in order.
Focus Series and Exploring Seriestutorials require, at minimum, a mastery of
the basic Mastercam skills taught in the Getting Started Seriesmodules. A
general knowledge of machining principals and practices is also required.
You must have a seat of Mastercam X6 Design or higher to complete most of
the tutorials in the Getting Started Series.
The Basic 2D Machiningmodule in the Getting Started Seriesrequires, at
minimum, a seat of Mill Entry or Router Entry.
The Basic 3D Machiningmodule in the Getting Started Seriesrequires Mill
Level 3 or Router Pro.
Additional files may accompany a tutorial. Unless the tutorial provides
specific instructions on where to place these files, store them in a folder that
can be accessed from the Mastercam workstation, either with the tutorial or
in any location that you prefer.
