Mastercam Mill Includes New Automated Machining and Toolpath Verification
Features

TOLLAND, CT, August 1, 1995--CNC Software has announced new additions to
its Mastercam Mill Version 5.5 CAD/CAM software. Mastercam Mill now
includes time-saving 2-1/2 -axis associative machining functions, new
multi-surface machining routines and an additional NC Verification option.
These features have been added at no extra charge.

CNC Software's 2-1/2-axis associative machining package, Production Pro, is
now included standard with Mastercam Mill. Previously sold as a separate
package, Production Pro is designed to streamline and automate basic
machining operations such as drilling, boring, basic pocketing and
user-defined cycles. The user selects the location and type of operation,
and the software automatically creates geometry, optimized toolpaths,
dimensions, operations sheets and a tool list. This allows complete
association between similar components and operations. Changes made to any
item will automatically be made in all associated items, saving
programming time.

Mastercam Mill Version 5.5 includes new multi-surface finishing and finish
roughing. Multi-surface finishing toolpaths are now generated up to 5
times faster, and several new finish roughing routines are available for
maximum toolpath efficiency.

Mastercam's toolpath verification now has the ability to show the tool move
across the part as it removes material. All basic and advanced tool shapes
are supported, giving a realistic representation of the milling process
and finished part. This helps reduce dry runs and test cutting.

Known for its power and simplicity, Mastercam is Windows and Windows
NT-based CAD/CAM software for 2- through 5-axis milling, turning, 2- and
4-axis wire EDM, moldbase development, 3D drafting, design and surface
modeling.

Mastercam provides a C-language interface for easy third-party
customization; built-in bidirectional translators including IGES, VDA,
DXF, CADL, STL and more. Over 500 custom and user-definable post
processors are also available.
