We will be showcasing our most recent release of Mastercam - version 2019 along with our support for diverse Metrology hardware through the Verisurf product range. We will have experts from both India and USA demonstrating strengths and benefits of our technologies and through this, we hope to initiate productivity dialogues with our prospects and customers. Mastercam 2019 was developed to streamline the manufacturing process from job setup to job completion. Not only does it increase machining productivity, it also reduces overall production costs with new 2D through multiaxis milling automation features, CAD and model preparation improvements, expanded 3D tooling, Accelerated Finishing™, and powerful turning and Mill-Turn enhancements.
Re-engineered chamfering and holemaking strategies, plus the new Multiaxis deburring provide new levels of time-saving automation and simplicity. New milling toolpath strategies, like the high speed Equal Scallop toolpath, offer both machining performance and surface finish improvements. The new release includes additional support for the Sandvik Coromant PrimeTurning™ method, enhanced grooving, bar feed, and other features for turning and millturn applications, plus new lathe and Swiss-style machine support. Mastercam 2019 also includes enhanced CAD functionality and 3D model import support, improved part preparation and fixture setup tools, additional PowerSurface capabilities, and expanded support for Model-Based Definition (MBD). Mastercam 2019's expanded digital tool library capability delivers accurate, 3D tool assembly models, with access to the latest cutting tool technology and updates for Sandvik Coromant CoroPlus® and MachiningCloud™ platforms. Mastercam 2019 also expands Accelerated Finishing with support for taper and lens style tools aimed at 75% cycle time improvement for finishing operations with superior surface finish quality.

With improvements to toolpath and machine simulation,
toolpath graphics, and other verification and analysis tools,
Mastercam 2019 provides greater programming assurance and
allows for better, more informed decisions before a job is run.
These improvements include support for block drilling multiple
holes simultaneously and better axis control in simulation,
allowing you to easily check machine limits or collision
checking.
