I also did a comparison between Mastercam X3 and Mastercam 2020, here is a link to that post. If you are still on the old interface, hopefully this video can show you some of the time improvements you will see. Very helpful in knowing what you are giving the toolpath before you spend a bunch more time setting toolpath parameters and processing the toolpath.Īgain, we are only scratching the surface of the new functions in 2020. Mastercam X9 brings a new suite of programming tools focused on delivering speed, automation, and efficiency for all machining jobs. These options will greatly increase the workflow speed buy automatically selected those areas for you.this really cuts down on linking edges and partial chaining, which can be tedious sometimes.Īlthough not a new for 2020 feature, the Preview Chains is not available in X9, this allows you to preview the geometry you are giving the toolpath to see what parts are machinable, air, or avoidance regions. In 2020, Mastercam has new solid selection options, Outer Edges, Open Edges, Bosses, and Cavities. After the toolpath creation in X9, I compare the same toolpath creation in 2020. I encounter a few points in the geometry selection for the toolpath that slow me down, even encounter two open edges in one of the toolpaths which is not allowed in versions prior to 2020. To start, I apply the 2D Dynamic Mill toolpath to several features in X9. Some are still sticking with X9 to avoid having to hop into the new Mastercam interface, here you'll see some benefits. In this video I was just looking at pointing out some of added benefits of updating to the latest release. Lots of changes in this release of Mastercam 2020, too many to list in a single blog post.
