Turning Software with Powerful Toolpaths and Techniques

Mastercam 2019 Lathe from CNC Software provides a variety of techniques to turn all parts exactly as they are needed, from accepting and programming any CAD file to Dynamic roughing and precision finishing.

Posted: April 26, 2019

Lathe users with Mastercam 2019 Lathe from CNC Software can run select Mill-Turn machine environments and experience automated job setup and part transfer, full machine simulation, simplified programming of C/Y axis toolpaths, and a Lathe Groove toolpath with a Multiple Plunge option to rough out a groove with rib cuts to reduce tool deflection and achieve better chip control and more even tool wear.

From accepting and programming any CAD file to Dynamic roughing and precision finishing, Mastercam 2019 Lathe from CNC Software, Inc. (Tolland, CT) provides a variety of techniques to turn all parts exactly as they are needed, including a new Tool Designer, Mill-Turn Environments, Multiple Plunge and more:

  • 3D Tool Support. Build tools from 3D STEP models using the new Tool Designer, a function panel with tab-style navigation that provides a structured workflow similar to using a wizard. You can define tools, assign them to operations and view them when running Classic Backplot and Mastercam Simulator.
  • Mill-Turn Environments. Lathe users can run select Mill-Turn machine environments, giving them the productivity benefits of a Mill-Turn programming environment. Experience automated job setup and part transfer, full machine simulation, and simplified programming of C/Y axis toolpaths.
  • Multiple Plunge. The Lathe Groove toolpath includes a Multiple Plunge option which allows you to rough out a groove with rib cuts. This is beneficial when you are concerned about tool deflection. Consistent tool pressure can result in better chip control, and more even tool wear. Multiple Plunge gives you the option to machine the ribs with a more aggressive feed rate than the initial plunges.

This software also features:

  • Improved support for cross-centerline turning.
  • Support for Swiss machines. Swiss users with active Lathe and Mill/Mill 3D licenses can now take advantage of familiar Lathe and Mill toolpaths (available in the United States).
  • Full integration of the PrimeTurning™ toolpath with improved tool libraries, including 3D tool libraries and the introduction of 3D tool support.
