CNC Software, Inc. had developed Mastercam, which leads the world in CAD/CAM software. It has declared the release of Mastercam 2021. It enhances machining productivity and decreases overall production expenses with quicker, more flexible multiaxis improvements, safety, advances in speed, and improvements in turning and turning-related applications.
An increasing number of shops are relying on streamlined multiaxis cutting for single-setup accuracy, Mastercam 2021 keeps on adding new techniques and strategies. Expanded Multiaxis Pocketing blends efficient pocket cutting focusing on finishing with Accelerated Finish tools to automatically maintain the right tool contact within defined parameters.
Mastercam provides the ability for analysis and modification of the UV direction on surface models to expand the flexibility and power of multiaxis flowline milling toolpaths. The novel 3+2 Automatic Roughing toolpath makes automatically multiplane 3-axis roughing toolpaths after evaluation of the model and the stock, creation of a cut, calculation of the remaining, and repetition of the process till the completion of roughing. According to Mastercam President and CEO Meghan West, these advancements have been made in direct response to the needs of the global manufacturing community. “Mastercam is developed by listening to our users and creating solutions for their problems.
We adapt to changing needs to ensure that the customer experience is the best it can be as we continue to innovate for improved automation, efficiency, connectivity, and precision. From job setup through job completion, you can depend on our technology to empower productivity

Mastercam 2021 is for the expansion of support for modeling chucks and chuck jaws. After selection of a solid model, you can define these. Mastercam Mill-Turn is for the support of collet chucks as single component types to greatly expand the gamut of machines for direct support. Mill-Turn Simulation after being added to the Mastercam Simulator interface to experience Mill-Turn simulation with similar interface tools as the Mastercam Simulator. Swiss machining solutions blend the Mastercam Mill and the Mastercam Lathe with specialized post processors. This results in the addition of machine-specific tools inside the Mastercam interface to output precise G-code for a wide gamut of Swiss machines.
Advanced Drill is a novel toolpath in Mastercam 2021, which is a customizable multi-segment drill cycle used for back spot facing, deep hole drilling, and spot drilling. Every segment of the drill cycle can be defined and customized. After usage of tools with a tip angle, the novel Chamfer Drill toolpath chamfers holes post calculation of the right depth on the basis of the desired depth or width to select holes of varied sizes and diameters that are in varied planes and machine them with a single tool in a single operation. During creation of a bounding box in Mastercam 2021, the new Wrap option enables the creation of the smallest possible bounding box. With the novel Check Tool Reach function, you can check your tool and holder against the selected model geometry to see the reach of the tool.
