What's so "Dynamic" about Dynamic Motion?

The answer is straightforward. Every tool has an ideal cut condition if it were to travel in a straight line. It would maintain consistent chip load during this safe cut condition. Mastercam's Dynamic Motion technology works to apply those conditions to an entire toolpath, not just a straight-line cut.  The result is constantly changing motion that adjusts itself to best reflect that ideal cut condition and create a consistent chip load on the tool. 

As you can see, the toolpath itself varies widely from area to area, and even within any one given section. But the output - the chip load - is the same in each case.
 
And that's the answer - Mastercam's toolpaths use Dynamic motion so your results can be consistent.
