◼ TRUE ADDITIVE TRAVEL PATHS

◼ ADDITIVE PROCESS SIMULATION

◼ INTUITIVE GRAPHICAL INTERFACE

◼ SEAMLESS INTEGRATION INTO MASTERCAM

MASTERCAM INTERFACE

▪ Fully integrated into the Mastercam ribbon bar▪ Solid, surface, polygon mesh and wireframe geometry is supported

PROGRAMMING

TOOLPATH CONTROL GEOMETRY

▪ Use containment boundaries to control the build region in the slice plane.

▪ Slicing between Z limits supported – build the part in multiple sections

PROGRAMMING


PROGRAMMING

GENERAL TOOL PATH PARAMETERS

▪ The selected geometry may be sliced in any plane▪ Slices may be offset to leave inner or outer stock for machining▪ User can select boundary / fill pass order


PROGRAMMING

RAFT LAYER SUPPORT

▪ Support for raft layers▪ Offsets of the bottom layer, raft squares or simply

copy the bottom layer



PROGRAMMING

TOOL SELECTION

▪ Select an additive tool from the tool library or from the Additive Tools list

PROCESS PARAMETERS

▪ Control the spot size, travel speed, laser power, shielding gas and powder flow settings

▪ Set process parameters for materials from your material library

PROGRAMMING


BOUNDARY PASSES▪ Control the overlap between passes and at the start/stop point of each pass▪ Program boundary passes from the inside out or outside in to control heat

build-up in the part▪ Build the entire part using only boundary passes (‘parallel spiral’ fill)▪ Control the fill strategy for thin wall sections (< 2 bead widths)

PROGRAMMING


PROGRAMMING

FILL PASS PARAMETERS

▪ Fill tool path angle may be rotated a constant amount for each layer▪ 4 fill styles are supported.▪ Define separate corner power and travel speed settings



PROGRAMMING-OUTLINECREATE AN OUTLINE TOOLPATH FOR CHAINS THAT ARE PLANAR IN Z

Chains can be composed of lines, arcs or splines


PROGRAMMING-SURFACE OUTLINECREATE A SURFACE OUTLINE TOOLPATH USING SURFACES THAT MAY BE OPEN

PROGRAMMING

INTEGRATION WITH MASTERCAM TOOLPATHS MANAGER

▪ The tool path is fully associative to both operation parameters and geometry.▪ Operation parameters and geometry may be edited at any time. The ‘Regen’

button updates the tool paths, just like any machining tool path.▪ Operations may be saved to Mastercam operation libraries to build an AM

knowledge base▪ Backplot and machine simulation are supported.


ADDITIVE PROCESS SIMULATION

MODEL THE ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING PROCESS

▪ Fast model generation▪ View each layer separately▪ Optionally, a Mastercam stock model can also be generated

and used with subsequent machining operations


PROGRAM MULTIPLE PARTS BY LAYER

MERGE MULTIPLE OPERATIONS INTO ONE

▪ Build multiple parts with different process materials / process parameters from the bottom up in Z

▪ Control Z heights for merged build


TIME/MATERIAL

PROCESS ESTIMATES FOR:

▪ Total build time▪ Deposition time▪ Build material required


MATERIALS EDITORMATERIAL LIBRARY:

▪ Define material-specific process parameters for your application

▪ Add, delete and copy materials to/from the material list ▪ Browse for library materials ▪ Manually enter or adjust material parameters


NC OUTPUT

USES STANDARD MASTERCAM POST-PROCESSING ENGINE (MP)

▪ Post-processor customization required for additive NC code output
