Mastercam X5 Router

Mastercam X5 Router CNC manufacturing software gives your shop the best possible foundation for fast and efficient routing

Mastercam X5 Router CNC manufacturing software ensures that you’re ready for any job allowing you to perform automatic nesting with just enough manual intervention to achieve the best possible result in the least amount of time.

Nesting Enhancements. Mastercam X5 Router CNC manufacturing software allows you to perform automatic nesting with just enough manual intervention to achieve the best possible result in the least amount of time.

• New Drag button allows you to move parts around on the sheet.
• The Fill All Sheets option is back due to popular demand.
• Vertical/Horizontal Cut-Off options automatically generate a toolpath for vertical and horizontal cut-offs. This will preserve rectangular remnants for future use.

ATP (Automatic Toolpathing). The generic Mastercam ATP will now process multiple materials.

Dynamic Cutting in Mastercam X5 Router CNC manufacturing software:

Mastercam X5 Router CNC manufacturing software includes a unique 2D High Speed Toolpath. This gives you the ability to utilize the entire flute length of the cutting tool while maintaining more consistent cutting conditions. This technique saves cutting time while reducing wear on your tooling and machines. Mastercam X5 Router CNC manufacturing software also offers:

• “Micro lift” retracts that avoid excess heat buildup.
• Powerful entry methods, including a custom entry method to program complex shapes.
• Custom feeds and speeds to enhance productivity and generate safe motion.
• Flexible retract options to keep the tool down in smaller parts and supports rapid retracts on larger parts.

Superior 3D Finish in Mastercam X5 Router CNC manufacturing software:

Mastercam Router's 3D surface toolpath refinement lets you achieve dramatically superior finishes on complex parts. This new utility gives you greater control over the toolpath finish motion, delivering smoother finishes and more optimized cycle times than conventional methods allow.

Multiaxis Improvements in Mastercam X5 Router CNC manufacturing software:

• Drill 5-axis and Curve 5-axis dialogs are tree-style, stepping programmers through programming choices.
• Circle Mill 5-axis is a new multiaxis toolpath. This toolpath creates circular pockets normal to a surface for inserting fasteners and similar features. It can also generate round holes where drilling is not desirable.
• The new Minimum Tilt option lets you control tool motion when the tool or holder encounters a potential collision with a selected surface.
