Before creating toolpaths in Mastercam, it's best to get the geometry right. SpaceClaim, now directly integrated with Mastercam, is the best tool to open, correct, and update CAD parts prior to CNC programming. In this webinar, we'll show you how SpaceClaim:

• Is a powerful geometry editor designed for machinists
• Can open and edit models from any CAD system
• Fixes dirty geometry that can cause errors in CAM
• Makes fixtures and other tooling in a fraction of the time of CAD
• Is affordable, easy to learn, and easy to use
• Can reduce the time you lose in CAD by more than 50%

Feel free to contact OptiPro if you have any questions regarding the webinar by calling 585-265-0160 or send emails to mastercam@optipro.com.

Productivity Plus to be Introduced as a New Add On in Mastercam X7

In the coming months, Mastercam Ultra-News will be highlighting sneak previews regarding Mastercam X7. This month, we will focus on Productivity Plus, a new add-on that will give the end user the ability to run probing routines in the Mastercam environment. Having this add-on will eliminate the need for complex probing macros. With Productivity Plus, the end user can create automated operations for: part set-up, tool height, tool breakage, and inspection/reporting of basic geometric features (points, planes, circles, pocket sizes). Mastercam and Renishaw have worked together to develop this user friendly feature. The operator can now simply select a feature to probe directly from the CAD model, and request the type of measurement needed. The Renishaw probing dialog opens (see below) and the operator can now choose to measure:

• Point, line, circle, plane
• 2D corner, 3D corner
• Web or pocket
• Construction point, circle, and planes
• Tool setting, if-then-else, go-to statements
• Reporting
• and more

Upon the release of X7, controls supported will include Haas, Fanuc, Mazak, and Heidenhain, with other to follow shortly after.

Please contact OptiPro for more information and keep an eye out for more X7 sneak previews in the upcoming monthly newsletters.
