Mastercam X7 MU1 for SolidWorks


Latest Mastercam X7 for SolidWorks package, which introduces new partnerships and significant new capabilities, including Lathe support, workflow improvements, the new 3D HST Project toolpath, and so much more.


- Lathe Support
Mastercam X7 for SolidWorks introduces many of Mastercam Lathe’s toolpaths. A few included are several types of roughing toolpaths to quickly remove large amounts of stocks; finish toolpaths to follow the contour of chained geometry; groove toolpaths for machining indented or recessed areas; our new Dynamic Rough toolpath is designed for hard materials; and Plunge Turn is designed for special plunge turn tools only (specifically the ISCAR plunge and turn inserts).
- ISCAR Partnership
Mastercam has been working with ISCAR on technology designed specifically to run ISCAR’s latest tools. The joint partnership creates more consistent tool loads, reduces tool wear, and makes the most of your tooling investment. Stop by booth #123 to discuss your needs with a Mastercam and ISCAR representative, and find out how you can receive a free ISCAR cutting tool.
- Tool Manager
Mastercam for SolidWorks’ new Tool Manager provides a whole new way to organize and create your tooling. It offers a lot of power and flexibility for all your mill tools. The Tool Manager has been designed from the ground up as a flexible and efficient way to manage tools and tool holding components and to create tool assemblies that can be used in Mastercam for SolidWorks. It also integrates work material and cut parameter data so that you can take advantage of a manufacturer’s cutting recommendations.
