- Complete control over part-to-part distance, sheet margins, and more.
- Easily “drag” parts around on your sheet.
- Directly place CAD models from a variety of sources.
- Group sets of parts and assign part nesting priorities.
- Double-sided and common-edge nesting.
- Custom sheet definition and “filler” parts reduce waste.
- Automatic vertical/horizontal cut-offs preserve rectangular leftovers.
- Save sheet scrap for later use.
- Create custom labels and reports.


Engraving
![]() |
Mastercam gives you the effect of classic hand-carved art using your CNC machine. Sharp inside corners give the finished piece a crisp edge which is unattainable with conventional machining. Mastercam’s engraving gives you a wide variety of choices:
- Standard chiseling.
- Embossed images.
- Combined chiseled/embossed images.
- Open pixel-based artwork as engravable geometry (.BMP, .GIF, .TIF, .PCX, .EPS, and more).
- Easily engrave any TrueType® font.
- Inverse embossing for mold work.
- Use V-groove cutters with any angle.
- Engrave remachining allows you to cut an area with a large tool and automatically remove remaining material with a smaller tool.
- Use constant-volume depth cuts for more consistent tool load.
