This tutorial does not go into any depth on machine and control definitions. When you first begin this tutorial, you will be prompted to assign a machine definition to the part. Once you are satisfied with it, post it from the Toolpath Manager to generate the NC code for a specific machine tool. You access these toolpaths, such as the mill toolpaths shown here, through the Toolpaths menu.Īfter you create a toolpath, you can use Mastercam's backplot feature to preview its operation on the screen. Mastercam offers a variety of toolpath types that let you quickly build toolpaths for specific applications. The tutorial then guides you through the steps to take that toolpath data and create NC code to machine the part. This tutorial focuses on applying several mill toolpaths to a part previously designed in Mastercam.  Exercise 1: Posting All Toolpath Operations.  Exercise 1: Backplotting All Toolpaths.  Exercise 2: Creating a Slot Mill Toolpath.  Exercise 3: Creating a Contour Toolpath.  Exercise 1: Creating a Dynamic Mill Toolpath.  Exercise 1: Assigning a Machine Definition.  Additional Documentation.ĭrilling Holes.
