Mastercam’s CAD File Change Recognition tracks files from Mastercam or any other CAD system and will show users what’s been changed for easy toolpath updating. If a user modifies any element of the job, toolpaths can be updated without starting over. Mastercam X4 Lathe’s associative toolpaths are linked with users’ geometry.

The steady rest option supports long work pieces, minimizing deflection from tool pressure and material weight.

Lead-in/lead-out controls minimize the need to modify the CAD model to control tool motion.

Stock recognition for optimized turning toolpaths with minimal user interaction.

Easily assign groove depth, width, wall angles, corner radius, chamfer, and corner dwells.

Grooving with multiple depth cuts and pecking.

In addition to turning, full 3- to 5-axis milling, including machines with B-axis tooling arms.

Complete threading with multiple starts, diameter calculation, and user customizable thread tables.

Optimized facing including roughing and finishing.

“Quick Toolpaths” for programming parts with just a few clicks.

Mastercam X4 Lathe delivers a set of programming tools, including: Mastercam’s streamlined CAD engine makes each piece of created geometry “live,” letting users modify it. Mastercam X4 Lathe is here with a new suite of CAD/CAM tools focused on delivering efficiency to machining jobs.įrom roughing and finishing to easy grooving and threading, Mastercam Lathe has been designed to reduce programmer interaction and increase machining flexibility. Full C-axis machining when combined with Mastercam Mill.
