The New Mastercam 2019

CADDZOOM

The New Mastercam 2019 is now exciting the engineers and mechanics with its innovative technology and features. The tool has already made simple “designing and modifications” in the virtual parts for these professionals. Here are some of the latest updates on the tool:

Deburr Toolpath- Engineering design professionals can now use the new toolpath for Multiaxis. The tool can break the edges for 3 to 5 axis and is capable of removing burrs. It can be used with tools such as the Ball end mill and Lollipop with undercut.

 

Chamfer Toolpath- Now also available for the 2D machining, this tool allows the designers to work on the solid edges and faces for chain geometry designs. It also helps to work on surfaces, solids, and meshes used for the avoidance model. The feature also has a set of unique parameters to havemore control over the toolpath.

 

Prime Turning Toolpath- Introduced in the 2018 model, it is now fully integrated into the Mastercam 2019 version. The feature now enables designers to include radius as small as 0.4 millimeters. The feature also gives access to the additional libraries that can be downloaded from Tech Exchange.

 

New Solid Hole Function-The new hole function can automate cylindrical hole punching mechanism which saves the designer’s time consumption in creating circles and extruding them. The feature also gives options to choose the hole types such as Counterbore, Countersink, Counterdrill, and Taper.

 

3D Tool Support- The new versionis now allowing designers to build tools from the 3D STEP models using the new Tool Designer feature. The tool designer here is a function panel that has tab-style navigation that offers a structured workflow similar to a wizard.

 

Advanced Toolpath Display-Mastercam, in the new version can now display toolpaths with different colors.  These colors are based on the type of the design moves. The designer has an option to toggle the Advanced Display. If the designer chooses not to use it, the tool displays only the cutting and rapid motion in different colors. The designer can then change this display state and colors as they wish.

 

On an overall basis, Mastercam has now made designing and modifications extremely easy for the engineering designers. These professionals can develop more detailed and precise designs using the new Mastercam. The advanced views and simulator in the latest version have made product designs more interactive and efficient.

CATIA VERSION 6 RELEASE 2013X

CADDZOOM

CATIA stands for Computer Aided Three dimensional Interactive Application. It allows its users to create parametric and non-parametric models. Today, CATIA is not just an ordinary CAD software package; it is a software suite incorporating CAD, CAM and CAE capabilities.

The product enhancements in the CATIA V6R2013X are mentioned as below:

CATIA Composites Fiber Modeler (CFM)

CATIA V6 is fully integrated with this proven and widely used technology from Simulayt. They combine the design and analyze the structures made from the fiber-reinforced materials.

CATIA Offline

The CATIA Offline feature provides the additional flexibility to the users so they can access their current data on the go when ENOVIA V6 Server is not available.

STEP AP42

By enhancing and merging STEP AP203 and STEP AP214, STEP AP242 provides the users to independently use the ISO standard approach for import and export of compressed and tessellated data.

Best Multiversion Compatibility

The features of V6R2013X created in the FreeStyle workbench can be transferred with all the specifications to V5-6R2013.

Multiple advances in System Engineering

Using the Modelica standard, five new model libraries are added to the CATIA system to improve the product design, and the comprehensive set of libraries help in the study of Thermal Power Systems.

Live Rendering Feature

CATIA live rendering a great boon for Industrial designers. They can add pictures in the background without any hindrance on the performance of the central computer.

CATIA Natural Sketch

This feature allows the creative designers to draw in 3D directly. Using the initial rough designs.

CATIA Icem

Through the feature of CATIA Icem users can create the perfect shape at the first step. The updates made through this feature have reduced the repetition of same tasks.

Mold-Design Process

The complex Mechanical systems can be created quickly through this process.

Increase flexibility and Traceability of Components

Through merging and branching abilities, the designers can synchronize and navigate their components and view evident impacts.
