Mastercam is continuing our tradition of developing new Dynamic Motion toolpaths.

Dynamic Motion is an exciting new approach to creating toolpaths. It forms the core of many ofMastercam’s most popular toolpaths from milling to turning, and we’re constantly expanding it acrossour products. Dynamic Motion is always included and never sold as an extra add-on. And you don’tneed a new machine to take advantage of Dynamic Motion technology. virtually any machine can

experience these Dynamic improvements in speed and efficiency.

THE FuTuRE OF EFFICIENCY & SPEEDIS HERE – MASTERCAM’S DYNAMICMOTION TECHNOLOgY Smooth Tool Motion

No abrupt directional changesmeans less wear and tear onyour machines.

Save Time & Money

Increase your profits byreducing your cutting time.

Increased Tool Life

get as much as 60% longerlife out of your tools.

Cut Hard Material

Even the toughest materialscan be cut with ease withDynamic Motion.

dynamic Motion is more efficient.

Mastercam’s Dynamic Motion technology is a new and exciting approach tocreating toolpaths. In order to create the smoothest, most efficient cuttingmotion possible, Dynamic toolpaths calculate more than just the simplemotion of the tool. They also use a proprietary set of rules to analyze toolengagement and the material removal, constantly changing the cut motionbased on what’s happening at the machine, at that moment. The resultsinclude radically shorter cycle times, less wear and breakage of tools, and lesswear on machines.

dynamic Motion is faster.

By dramatically reducing air cutting and maximizing safe engagement,Dynamic Motion toolpaths can reduce cycle times by 25 to 75 percent.Dynamic Motion toolpaths can use full-depth cutting, meaning far fewerstep downs. And this means you can cut more parts in less time.

dynamic Motion extends the life of tools and machines.

Traditional toolpaths often use only the flute nose, causing uneven tool wear.Because Mastercam’s Dynamic Motion can use the full flute length, you’llget even wear and heat distribution resulting in fewer tool changes and lessgrinding that slows you down and costs you money.

This same Dynamic Motion also produces a consistent chip load, reducingvibration and pulling heat away from the part and tool through the chipsthemselves. That’s better for your tools, your machines, and your finishedparts. And the smooth motion eliminates abrupt directional changes,keeping your machines more accurate with less maintenance.

dynamic Motion makes easy work of cutting hard materials.

Roughing hard materials like cobalt and titanium can pose a challenge to manyshops. Mastercam’s Dynamic Motion toolpaths make it significantly easierby ensuring even heat and load distribution throughout the cut. This evendistribution prevents material surface hardening and reduces the risks of toolbreakage, giving you more consistent, predictable results every time.
