Expanded options and more efficient programming are combined with Mastercam Mill to provide fast, easy Swiss programming, Mastercam’s Swiss Solution benefits from the improvements and updates to Mastercam Lathe. The new Generate retract operation option will enable the new operation and will create a second operation, separate from the engage operation.

Users now have the option to have Mastercam automatically retract the center when creating a Center Point operation in Mill-Turn. Enter a positive value to move the spindle towards its home position, or a negative value to move the spindle away from its home position. Spindle Move operations in Mill-Turn now let you specify the destination as an Incremental distance.

Create subprograms for depth cuts and hole making operations such as drilling. The subprogram support that has been in other Mastercam products has also been added to Mill-Turn. This includes new component types, enhanced component libraries, dedicated operations for each type of steady rest, part handling strategies, and simulation features. Mastercam 2022 introduces steady rest support for Mill-Turn which allows you to precisely position and simulate steady rests throughout your machining process, adding part support capability to turning, milling, and part-handling operations. Mastercam automatically reads the proper diameter value from the selected geometry. After selecting the button, you are returned to the graphics window where you can select an arc or radial face. When defining stock dimensions in Job Setup, a new button lets you specify the outer or inner diameter by selecting an arc or radial face. These assemblies can be stored in a library and used for the creation of full 3D Lathe Tool assemblies. You can save time and avoid errors by creating reusable assemblies of modular components. Create collections of adapters, extensions, and holders, and store them as an assembly. With Mastercam 2022, you can now define reusable holder assemblies. Mastercam 2022 features new Mill-Turn support, enhancements to 3D Turning Tools, Stock Diameter, and much more. From accepting and programming any CAD file to Dynamic Motion™ roughing and precision finishing, Mastercam 2022 gives you a variety of options to turn all your parts exactly as you need them.

CNC Software, Inc., developer of Mastercam, the world’s leading CAD/CAM software, announces the release of Mastercam 2022 turning solutions.
