Mastercam Quick chips 2020 : 3D Secrets of getting smooth tool path

Mastercam Quick chips 2020 :
3D Secrets of getting smooth tool path
This video shows how to deal with holes in 3D parts
Tricks that cane be used in both solids and surfaces

[@hasanafi1]

Thanks for your tips. It helped a lot.

[@integratedsolidsolutionsll3313]

Glad it helped!
I used the tricks from this video for many years, and they got me out of many problems.

[@billruss6704]

another way would be to go to your solids "tree" suppress the holes, re calculate your tool path then lock the tool path

[@integratedsolidsolutionsll3313]

Yes Bill you do that, But this solid has no history so you would have to use model prep to remove the holes.
Then to keep ref to drill the holes you would need to copy the solid to another layer and keep track of it.
Plus surfaces calculate faster. Plus this trick works in all versions of mastercam, because you can extent the surfaces to extend the tool paths.
There is nothing wrong with removing the holes locking the toolpath it works. And is some cases I would do that. If you have good computer with a enough ram. If you have and old computer with minimum of ram the surface trick works better. I work with a lot of small shops that run older version of mastercam with older computers so the surface option work better for them.
Thank you for you feedback Bill.

@@integratedsolidsolutionsll3313 agree, surface from solids is a great way to deal with solids without having to have the solids option.
