Toolpath

Once you’ve modeled your project, Mastercam Art gives you a wide variety of cutting techniques to ensure the part comes off the machine exactly how you imagined it. Accuracy and Speed Mastercam Art’s toolpaths are created specifically for accurately machining artistic surfaces. Built with an eye toward speed, these toolpaths give you machine-ready results – usually in seconds. Pick the Perfect Technique Mastercam gives you a powerful set of techniques and strategies to fit every project.

The Mastercam Art Process

STEP 1

Import Source File.

Mastercam Art converts clip art, CAD files, scanned sketches, or photos to flat, machinable geometry, giving you a basic palette from which to craft your finished model.

STEP 2

Build A 3D Model.

Quickly create a full 3d sculpture and watch Mastercam Art “puff up” the artwork. Easily modify the model to make sure it is precisely what you want. Choose various application styles for each shape and regenerate the model to achieve your desired results.

STEP 3

Create A Toolpath and Machine It On Screen.

Fast, reliable, toolpaths are easily modified, letting you quickly sample a variety of cutting techniques for the perfect result. Watch as your part is cut with Mastercam’s toolpath verification. Inspect the piece for surface finish and make sure it is exactly what you want, before it ever goes on the machine.

STEP 4

Output G-Code and Cut It On Your Machine.

Quickly create G-Code for your machine using Mastercam’s extensive post processor library. The toolpaths Produce machine-ready results, and these artistic components can always be machined into other parts programmed in Mastercam.
