Mastercam’s X3, high speed machining is now available in a suite of 2D high speed toolpaths. The six 2D toolpaths—peel mill, core mill, area mill, rest mill, blend mill, and facing—are optimized for high speed machining and hard milling. The company claims the new toolpaths can make processes more efficient and automated, while at the same time minimizing programming and cycle times. In addition, the company’s dynamic toolpath strategy program attempts to optimize the toolpath for minimum tool wear and maximum performance.
