Windows-based CAD/CAM software—Mastercam/CNC Software, booth D-3024

Mastercam is a Windows-based CAD/CAM software for two- through five-axis milling and turning; two- and four-axis wire EDM; 2D and 3D design, surface and solid modeling; and 2D and 3D routing. The software runs under Windows 2000 and Windows XP and is compatible with all other CAD/CAM systems.

The company says it has developed techniques that will improve the three most important areas for an NC programmer: ease and flexibility in programming any tool path; the toolpath calculation speed; and toolpath output.
