Mastercam’s Dynamic Motion continue to do our part to make manufacturing smarter, safer, technology is just one example of cutting-edge efficiencies and more efficient. built into our software – at no extra cost to you. 1 THE FUTURE OF EFFiCiENCY & SPEED iS HERE – MASTERCAM’S DYNAMiC MOTiON TECHNOlOgY. Dynamic motion is more efficient. Mastercam’s Dynamic Motion technology is a new and exciting approach to creating toolpaths. in order to create the smoothest, most efficient cutting motion possible, Dynamic toolpaths calculate more than just the simple motion Smooth Tool Motion of the tool. They also use a proprietary set of rules to analyze tool engagement no abrupt directional changes means less and the material removal, constantly changing the cut motion based on what’s wear and tear on your machines. happening at the machine, at that moment. The results include radically shorter cycle times, longer tool life, and less wear on machines. Dynamic motion is faster. By 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 fewer step downs. And this means you can cut more parts in less time. Save Time & Money increase your profits by reducing your cutting 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’ll get even wear and heat distribution resulting in fewer tool changes and less grinding that slows you down and costs you money. This same Dynamic Motion also produces a consistent chip load, reducing Increased Tool Life vibration and pulling heat away from the part and tool through the chips get as much as 60% longer life out of your tools. themselves. That’s better for your tools, your machines, and your finished parts. 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 difficult materials like cobalt and titanium can pose a challenge to many shops. Mastercam’s Dynamic Motion toolpaths make it significantly easier by ensuring even heat and load distribution throughout the cut. This even distribution Mastercam is continuing our tradition of developing new Dynamic Motion toolpaths. Cut Hard Material even the toughest materials can be cut prevents material surface hardening and reduces the risks of tool breakage, giving Dynamic Motion is an exciting new approach to creating toolpaths. it forms the core of many of with ease with Dynamic motion. you more consistent, predictable results every time. Mastercam’s most popular toolpaths from milling to turning, and we’re constantly expanding it across our products. Dynamic Motion is always included and never sold as an extra option. And you don’t need a new machine to take advantage of Dynamic Motion technology. Virtually any machine can experience these Dynamic improvements in speed, efficiency, and tool life.

The most widely used CAM software in the world is now the most dynamic. Since 2008, Mastercam has been building Dynamic Motion into our software. That means it has been shop-tested and proven in real- Mastercam’s embedded Dynamic Motion technology dramatically shortens production times world environments. Dynamic Motion toolpaths carve out massive amounts of material quickly – while significantly extending the tool while extending the life of your machine and tools. Mastercam Mill is rich in features life – immediately putting more money in your pocket. Sounds unbelievable, right? But as the market leader, we’ve had our Dynamic yet still simple and intuitive to use. Motion toolpaths tested in virtually every conceivable work environment around the world. it works. masTercam is more wiDeLy UseD Than any oTher CAM Program For you, this means a few very good things. First, there’s a large and ever- growing base of potential employees already trained and comfortable with Mastercam. More trained, experienced, and certified Mastercam programmers makes your workforce focused and ready for expansion. Second, we are shop-tested. Our software engineers are constantly reaching out to customers to improve and streamline our products. This makes Mastercam the easy choice for the long haul. mastercam mill, including our cutting-edge Dynamic motion technology, has been shop-tested more than any CAM program in the world. you can count on mastercam for real-world, tested solutions. Ultimately flexible and expandable. Mastercam Mill offers a broad selection of solutions for almost any CNC milling challenge – 2D, 3D, or multiaxis. Whether your customer base is automotive or aerospace, medical or consumer products, energy or heavy machinery, Mastercam Mill is ready to help you deliver. Mastercam’s large selection of toolpaths and functions means there’s always more than one way to get the job done. Once you program a part, no matter how complex, you can modify any element of the job and immediately get updated Dynamic motion technology is truly the next big thing toolpaths without starting over. You can also build a library in CNC machining. it’s a new way of designing toolpaths of your favorite machining strategies.
