Hi Sir. How could you set merge stock model and part together to get backplot with tool cutting around into the meat which looks so cool? How is that method called please?
The animation that shows how it will cut the stock material away is called Simulation. The stock model can be defined in many different ways in the project and then launch the Simulation tool to run and play the toolpaths to make sure they cut as expected.
You can use the "Trim" option for holder collision checking in the Dynamic OptiRough, but not the Tilt. If you create or edit a toolpath and go to the Holder section, it will show you what is available for each toolpath in terms of holder collision checking.
The Morph toolpath is designed to keep the toolpath constrained to the surfaces without blank passes, though in the skinny section you may see that the passes are very close together as the morph toolpath simply adjusts the spacing but continues to cut a proportional amount of material. The extra passes are not blank passes, but depending on your surface finish needs you may be able to create a more efficient program using a different toolpath. This is the type of question that may best be discussed over a specific example with one of our experts, if you are an MLC CAD Systems customer you can reach out at our website! mlc-cad.com/technical-support/
i have a question so you create a 3d IT COULD BE ANY toolpath operation? then CONVERT to 4 or 5? if your lathe has 5 axis and if you don't have convert to 5 axis / can you still do it with either CURVE or SWARF MILL or PARALLEL or MORPH or PORT or TRIANGULAR yeah?
-Yes, you can convert any 2d or 3d toolpath to a 4 or 5 axis toolpath with Convert to 5 Axis -Convert to 5 Axis requires you to have a Multi Axis License -You can still program machines with 5 axes, but we can only out 3 axes to move at any one given time. So, we can index the A B or C then move the XYZ but each line of code can only have at most 3 axis calls per line. -Convert to 5 Axis is great for laths as most lathes only have 4 axes so we can limit the toolpath to only tilt in the directions that we are allowed. -So, if we have a 5 axis Toolpath “Curve, Swarf Milling, Morph, Port Triangular, etc. “ we would not run a convert on it as it is already a Multi axis toolpath.
Most of these models (probably all) are from the Signature Parts catalog created by Mastercam. You can find them by logging into the Mastercam website and going to the Tech Exchange. How to create an account and login: th-cam.com/video/2IWzvksp9qk/w-d-xo.html
This procedure can be followed on any model that Mastercam can import. Search around for 3D models online (3Dcontentcentral.com, grabcad.com) or see if one of the Signature Parts will work for you, it is available on Mastercam's website along with many other free resources like posts th-cam.com/video/PPwdfwV3tYw/w-d-xo.html
It would be very nice vith a webinar about circle segment milling, to setup tools correctly 👍
Great suggestion! I'll pass that along to the team.
Excellent video with lots of information....
Glad you liked it!
Excellence training .
Glad you think so!
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!

One question. Can we do holder collision checking on 3D Optirough. If not, what toolpath do available to do 3D rough like 3D Optirough.
You can use the "Trim" option for holder collision checking in the Dynamic OptiRough, but not the Tilt. If you create or edit a toolpath and go to the Holder section, it will show you what is available for each toolpath in terms of holder collision checking.
Really useful 👍👍👍👍
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
when morphing from a wide to skinny area, is there any way to trim off the excess passes, so you aren't doing a dozen blank passes?
The Morph toolpath is designed to keep the toolpath constrained to the surfaces without blank passes, though in the skinny section you may see that the passes are very close together as the morph toolpath simply adjusts the spacing but continues to cut a proportional amount of material.

@@MLCCADSystems i get what you mean, and while they may not be truly blank passes, if the passes are a tenth apart they may as well be.
👍👍👍
Awesome
I wanna see mill-turn of mazak or dmgmori
Thanks for the feedback! I've passed along your requests to see what our team can do!
Hi Sir. Why option ask us why click the straight line for?
Can you be more specific where in the video the straight line is selected? Perhaps I can explain the purpose of the selection in that context.

How can we find the models?

Would you like to give me all project file use in this webinar?
