Mastercam X2 _MR2 V11.2.3.28


Powerful Part Modeling
Mastercam’s streamlined CAD engine makes design work easier than ever before. Each piece of geometry you create is “live”, letting you quickly modify it until it’s exactly what you want. And with traditional functions consolidated into a few simple clicks, Mastercam simplifies the creation of even the most complex parts.

Fast creation of a wide range of NURBS and parametric surfaces, including powerful “fence” and “net” surfaces.
Associative dimensions update as you change your model.
Extensive editing tools, including powerful new surface extension.
Every shop faces engineering changes. Often, it can be difficult to track which file is the latest, what modifications have been made, and what programming changes are needed.

Mastercam X2 includes two powerful new tools – File Tracking and Change Recognition – that give you an easy way to identify these issues and streamline programming an updated file.

Create a checklist of files to watch including Mastercam, SolidWorks, Autocad, or other CAD files. Mastercam alerts you when a newer version of any file on the list is available.
Mastercam’s Change Recognition identifies modifications to any type of CAD geometry with no file type limitations – any combination of wireframe, solids, or surfaces.
Mastercam marks any toolpaths affected by the updated CAD file. You can quickly select the new geometry and update the toolpaths.
Once you update an affected toolpath, automatically update any additional toolpaths that use that geometry.
The real power of these tools becomes clear when receiving engineering changes to a large file with multiple operations. Something as simple as a few additional drill holes could be frustrating to identify. Now, with a few mouse clicks, you can immediately locate and program these changes, saving valuable time.

Efficient Wireframe Geometry
Multiple point and line creation techniques.
Efficient arc, circle, and fillet functions, including filleting at every corner in a chain of entities.
Create splines on surfaces using a variety of functions including surface projections, surface intersections, edge curves, slicing curves, and parting lines.
Create pre-filleted shapes to save time.

Flexible Geometry Editing
Change widths, styles, and colors globally or for a single entity.
Quickly modify parameters such as line length and arc radius after creation.
Fillet or chamfer corners easily.
Extend lines, arcs, splines, and surfaces.
Trim single or multiple surfaces with full undo capability.
Quickly translate, mirror, and scale (uniformly or with separate factors in X, Y, and Z).
Offset entities by a given distance.

Powerful Surface Modeling
Create parametric and NURBS surfaces using loft, ruled, revolved, swept, draft, and offset creation methods.
“Fence” and “net” surfaces expand your modeling power.
Trim single and multiple surfaces to curves, planes and surfaces.
Easily extend and split surfaces.
New “smart” extension for trimmed surfaces avoids pitfalls with traditional trimmed surface extension.
Flexible surface filleting offers constant radius fillets and point-and-click variable radius fillets.
Automatic parting line calculation for mold making.
Create, edit, and manipulate realistically shaded surface models.
