New Mastercam X Wire Brings Efficiency and Speed to Wire EDM Programming

CNC Software announces the release of Mastercam X Wire CAD/CAM software. Built from the ground up, Mastercam X Wire delivers powerful part modeling and EDM programming, efficient tab creation, and dependable wirepath verification. Dramatically streamlined and featuring powerful new features, Mastercam X Wire has been designed to reduce programmer interaction and increase machining flexibility.

Powerful Part Modeling
Mastercam X Wire delivers a new, streamlined CAD engine that makes design work easier than ever before. Geometry that you create is “live,” which allows for modifications until the part is exactly how you want it.

Mastercam X Wire includes:
∙ 2D and 3D geometry creation with complete wireframe and surface modeling.
∙ Associative dimensions update as you change your model.
∙ Extensive editing tools and more.

EDM Programming

Mastercam X Wire includes many tools to increase your programming efficiency.

Some include:
∙ 2 & 4-axis programming.
∙ 2-axis contouring, with or without taper angle.
∙ No-cure cutting.
∙ 4-axis synchronization with automatic skim and reverse cuts.
∙ 4-axis surface finish by chordal deviation, and much more.

Designed for Ease
∙ Full associability lets you modify geometry, tooling information, and machining parameters to get an accurate, updated toolpath.
∙ Mastercam’s Operations Manager provides a single place to create, modify, and analyze all aspects of the toolpath.
∙ User-customizable wire power libraries store power settings and other registers for rough and skim passes.
∙ Store a library of commonly used operations to automate machining.

This is a good step for Mastercam but from what I have used the new X wire operates the same as in V-9.I have trained Mastercam for many years and it is nothing special here visit my site at www.cad2cam.net.
