Fast, Easy, and Precise Turning
Mastercam Lathe delivers a streamlined set of programming tools, including:
• Mastercam’s “Quick Toolpaths” let you program parts with just a few clicks.
• Click and drag a machining start point anywhere on your model.
• Intelligent ID and OD roughing, including roughing to a boundary for castings.
• Optimized facing including roughing and finishing.
