Multiaxis
Improve your productivity with simultaneous 4- and 5-axis machining capability for Mastercam. Mastercam Multiaxis offers a wide range of multiaxis machining strategies—both basic and advanced.
Multiaxis toolpaths are also very useful for advanced control on 3-axis machines. With Mastercam, you have complete control over three crucial elements of multiaxis machining: cut pattern, tool axis control, and collision avoidance.
-
Delivers multisurface 5-axis roughing and finishing, including stock model awareness.
-
Tilt axis limits control the tool angle to ensure the toolpath will not gouge your part or violate machine tool limits.
-
Advanced gouge-checking and a 5-axis safe zone around the part help ensure safe cuts in even the most complex operations.
-
Works with Mastercam Mill 3D, Mastercam Router 3D, and Mastercam Mill-Turn products to generate 5-axis code to run virtually any CNC machine.
-
Support for advanced tool geometries is included as standard.
Mastercam Multiaxis ensures accurate cuts and fast turnaround on even the toughest jobs, with streamlined multiaxis programming for optimum productivity.
Port Export
Mastercam Port Expert facilitates toolpath generation for CNC cylinder head porting. It is a fast and easy-to-use software for creating multiaxis toolpaths within cylinder head ports, complex tubes, or deep pockets.
This software creates accurate, efficient porting motion on surface patches or solid body data. It minimizes unnecessary motion at the machine, which results in a highly efficient toolpath with superior finish quality.
-
Toolpath motion can be limited to either end of a port or allowed inside both ends of a port, meeting in the middle.
-
When cutting from both ends of a port, there is an integrated link move between the cuts, as well a seamless transition where the two cuts meet.
-
Port Expert creates finishing motion that runs parallel to, or perpendicular to the flow direction.
-
Port Expert works seamlessly with Mastercam Mill 3D and Mastercam Router 3D.
Simply define the port shape and any geometry to avoid, then configure your tool and machining parameters. Port Expert does the rest!
Productivity+
Productivity+TM gives you the ability to use a Renishaw measuring probe on a machine tool to update fixture offsets, tooling offsets, program orientation, and report on critical dimensions and tolerances. It also assists in lights-out manufacturing and running a machine tool without an operator.
Productivity+ provides an easy-to-use platform for incorporating simple measurement functionality and more advanced in-process intelligence into machining programs. It can simplify a wide range of measurement and process control tasks, such as component set-up, verification of critical features, and process development.
-
Program and simulate a Renishaw probe for your machine tool.
-
Improve process control and reporting of your machine tool’s performance.
-
Available with Mastercam Mill products.
-
Perform simple measurements and alignments to set up and validate your parts at the machine tool.
Productivity+ is a great solution for any shop that wants more control and information about the manufacturing process.
Blade Expert
Generating toolpaths for impellers, fans, and marine propellers is a complex 5-axis challenge. Machining these multibladed shapes usually requires special multistep, multiaxis programming, but Mastercam Blade Expert provides a comprehensive solution for various blade configurations. The interface follows the Mastercam standard used by all Mastercam Multiaxis toolpaths, ensuring a short learning curve and successful deployment. Blade Expert turns your multiblade machining challenges into routine solutions:
-
Remove the material from between the blades.
-
Finish the blades/splitters.
-
Finish the floor.
-
Finish the fillets.
Blade Expert works seamlessly with Mastercam® Mill 3D and Mastercam Router 3D.
ProDrill
Dramatically speed up the hole-making process for parts containing many holes and multidiameter holes. Mastercam ProDrill is a highly customizable, feature-based drilling Add-On for Mastercam.
From automatic to fully-customizable drilling routines on surface or solid models from virtually any CAD source, you can adapt time-consuming, repetitive drilling tasks to your style of machining. ProDrill also allows your custom multidiameter step drill to be defined from the geometry used for machining.
-
Optimize tool plane rotation to minimize unnecessary movements.
-
Generate drilling toolpaths for all operations on your part, or on a selective basis.
-
Prevent costly machining errors that disrupt productivity.
-
Available for Mastercam Mill and Mill 3D and Mastercam Router and Router 3D.
With Mastercam ProDrill, you will manage your complex and high volume drilling routines with ease.
5-Axis Curve Machining
5-Axis Curve Machining helps you make better use of the capabilities that 5-axis machines provide. Your multiaxis machine, combined with our 5-axis CNC software, is capable of precise trimming along a complexly curved edge while maintaining proper tool angle and contact.
Tool axis control is what separates multiaxis toolpaths from normal surface, chain, and point toolpaths. The ability to manipulate the angle of the tool, relative to the cut pattern, puts a greater amount of control in your hands. The cut speed, finish quality, and tool life can all be improved with tool axis control.

Add-On to Mastercam Router
Mastercam 5-Axis Curve Machining is a practical point of entry into multiaxis machining, creating quality toolpaths while reducing programming time.
File Translators
File translators allow part files to be imported and exported between programs. Mastercam includes a large selection of CAD model file translators, so no matter where a part was created, it can be imported and modified as needed for machining purposes.
Mastercam file importers can open the following CAD file formats:
-
Native CAD formats – Alibre Design, AutoCAD®, Autodesk® Inventor™, CATIA™, Creo®, KeyCreator®, Rhino, Siemens NX™, SOLIDWORKS®, SolidEdge, SpaceClaim®
-
Solid modeling kernel formats – ACIS, Parasolid®
-
Standard formats – IGES (Initial Graphics Exchange Specification), STEP (Standard for the Exchange of Product Data), STL (Stereolithography), VDA (Verband der Automobilindustrie)
Several Mastercam file importers can bring in Model Based Definition (MBD) entities. MBD entities are “smart” dimensions which contain design intent added to the file during its creation. Capturing that data upon import and having it automatically be associated to the imported geometry inside Mastercam can be a significant time-saver. This can reduce or eliminate the need for external drawings that typically accompany imported files. MBD entities can be imported from the following formats: STEP, Siemens NX, Creo, Autodesk Inventor, and CATIA V5.
Whatever the source, Mastercam file translators helps get parts on and off your machines faster.
