Mastercam X5 Mill offers
expanded machining flexibility and an increased emphasis on speed and
automation. Smart Hybrid Finishing, new dynamic milling techniques and ISCAR
support combine with dozens of additional new enhancements in a package
intended to improve shop floor productivity.
Smart Hybrid Finishing - Hybrid
finishing blends two efficient cutting techniques into a single toolpath. This
toolpath evaluates the model shape and smoothly switches between Constant Z
cutting and Constant Scallop machining.
New surface toolpath - Mastercam's 3D surface high speed
OptiRough toolpath is a technique designed to remove large amounts of material
quickly using its milling motion. Large, aggressive cuts are followed by fast,
smaller up-cuts.
ISCAR Support - Mastercam includes specific support for
ISCAR's High Efficiency Machining (HEM) tools, ensuring that parts are
programmed to get the absolute most out of the cutters. Select the appropriate ISCAR
cutting tool from the library and the optimum information, feeds and speed are
calculated automatically.
Multiaxis machining - Mastercam X5 improves multiaxis toolpath
speed and has machining techniques and an easy, workflow-oriented interface.
Mastercam lets you choose the basic type of work you're doing using
illustrations, and then gives you a step-by-step process for defining how
you'll cut the part. It also includes a specialized interface for smooth,
gouge-free engine head porting.
By experimenting with the photovoltaic reaction in solar cells, researchers at MIT have made a breakthrough in energy efficiency that significantly pushes the boundaries of current commercial cells on the market.
In a world that's going green, industrial operations have a problem: Their processes involve materials that are potentially toxic, flammable, corrosive, or reactive. If improperly managed, this can precipitate dangerous health and environmental consequences.
With LEDs dropping in price virtually every year, automakers have begun employing them, not only on luxury vehicles, but on entry-level models, as well.

A quick look into the merger of two powerhouse 3D printing OEMs and the new leader in rapid prototyping solutions, Stratasys. The industrial revolution is now led by 3D printing and engineers are given the opportunity to fully maximize their design capabilities, reduce their time-to-market and functionally test prototypes cheaper, faster and easier. Bruce Bradshaw, Director of Marketing in North America, will explore the large product offering and variety of materials that will help CAD designers articulate their product design with actual, physical prototypes. This broadcast will dive deep into technical information including application specific stories from real world customers and their experiences with 3D printing. 3D Printing is
