April 28, 2021 – Our Mastercam team hosted their second episode of Knowledge on Tap which showcases features from both the software and machine tool side. In Episode Two, our team showcased 5-Axis Accelerated Finishing on complex titanium bone plate.
Unified Multi-Axis for Mastercam2022
As we hinted in our last episode, our team would be programming in Mastercam2022 which is set to release June 1st of this year. Stay tuned for roll-out information!
Unified Multi-Axis is a combination of parallel to curve, parallel to surfaces, morph tool path between curves and surfaces as well as Flowline. The combination of the toolpaths gives you different tool strategies you can take based on the geometry you take.

In this episode, Brandon was able to pull the tool files for EMUGE from the Tech Exchange. If you haven’t heard of this, the Tech Exchange is a page on the Mastercam website here you can download files for tooling to use in your projects. Some examples of what is available for download include tool libraries, posts and sample files. Contact our Mastercam team today to learn more!

Emuge FMC Collet
FMC collets are used in conjunction with FMC extensions to provide additional tool reach. The FMC collet screws into the FMC collet extension (Parts Listing). The collet extension is then seated within the standard FPC collet & holder. The FMC collet will fit into all FMC extensions. Match the FMC collet ID with the cutting tool shank diameter.
