Powerful Roughing
 Mastercam offers a variety of fast, efficient roughing techniques for bulk material removal. |
Fast, efficient bulk material removal is essential to efficient NC programming. Mastercam gives you a variety of techniques to rough machine all of your parts.
- Rough cut multiple surfaces, solid models, STL files, or any combination of the three.
- Rough cut with constant-Z contours or pockets.
- Rough cut by descending parallel or radial cuts, with complete control over plunging with positive and negative-Z motion.
- Custom plunge roughing lets you rough straight from the top (with no XY motion) in any user-defined cut pattern.
- Constant-Z rough restmill (remachining) identifies and machines areas that need to be roughed with a smaller tool.
- Automatic facing and critical depth recognition ensures flat surfaces that lie between Z-cuts won't be left with too much stock during rough machining.
- Automatically align all your roughing plunge points, making it easier to pre-drill those spots for production machining.
