Mastercam Swiss Expert Nears Release

Swiss Expert

Some of you may have heard that CNC Software recently purchased the exclusive rights to a product called SylvieXpert. This is a CAM product that was created specifically to address the Swiss machining market. It has been rebranded and is now known as Mastercam Swiss Expert (MSE).

Mastercam will be unveiling MSE 2011 at Precision Machining Technology Show (PMTS), April 19-21 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center in Columbus, Ohio. Stop by booth #1212 to check out the product. Mastercam will demonstrate any number of swiss machine makes and models in the software, including Citizen Swiss Turning Centers. As an exclusive distributor of Citizen machines and Mastercam software in NY State, OptiPro will be in attendance at PMTS to see Mastercam Swiss Expert in action. We hope to see many of you there as well!

Development continues in Switzerland specifically to support this product. More updates regarding the status of this new product will follow...

Tech Tip: Creating Tool Lists Using ActiveReports

You can use ActiveReports to create a detailed or summary tool list from a tool library. Detailed reports include tool names, material, size, and all other parameters entered when the tool was created in Mastercam. Summary reports list tool numbers, tool types, tool names, and insert/turret information.

Open the Tool Manager.

Tool Manager

To create a detailed report, right-click in the tool list area and choose Import/export tools, Detailed Report. Or choose Import/export tools, Report for a summary report.

 Import/export tools
 

Right-click in the Part window (upper window) to create a list based on tools in the machine group. Right-click in the Library window (lower window) to generate a list from all the tools in the library.

You can then use the ActiveReports Designer to customize either of these tool reports by modifying their templates. For more information, contact OptiPro to see the tutorial Creating Setup Sheets with ActiveReports Designer.
