Mastercam® Router Levels and Multiaxis
Mastercam Router delivers fast, easy NC programming that lets you make the most of your machines. With several options — Router, Plus, Pro, and Multiaxis — you are assured to get exactly what you need.
Mastercam Router
Associative CAD/CAM specifically designed for routers. Mastercam Router includes the full Mastercam CAD engine plus:
- Flexible 2D machining, including 2D Feature Based Machining on solids.
- Tab creation and editing.
- Advanced part and toolpath nesting.
- Block drill and aggregate head support.
- Support for raster-based files (JPEG, TIFF, and more).
- Powerful engraving.
Mastercam Router Plus
Associative CAD/CAM for basic 3-axis router work. Mastercam Router Plus builds on Mastercam Router, adding:
- Single surface and limited multisurface roughing.
- Single surface and limited multisurface finishing.
- Toolpath projection onto a complex surface.
Mastercam Router Pro
Associative CAD/CAM for full 3-axis machining and design. Builds on Mastercam Router and Router Plus, adding:
- Easy, associative multisurfacing roughing and finishing.
- Cleanup machining to reduce final hand work.
- Machine surfaces, solids, STL files. and wireframe from your favorite design software.
Mastercam Router Multiaxis
Associative CAD/CAM for 4-axis and 5-axis machining that adds on to Mastercam Router Pro.
- 4-axis and 5-axis multisurface roughing and finishing.
- 5-axis contour cutting and trimming.
- Full control over all aspects of tool approach, motion, and retract.
- Full multiaxis solids-based verification.
Trust Mastercam — the #1 choice of NC programmers.
Solids
Mastercam can machine solids quickly and easily. But it doesn’t end there. The Mastercam Solids add-in gives you powerful solid modeling right within your programming software.
Solid modeling is transforming the way parts are designed. Now you can bring that power right into your shop.
- Faster modeling of parts, molds, and fixtures using integrated solids, surfaces and wireframe.
- Greater flexibility in accepting outside models.
- Solids machining with access to Mastercam’s powerful CAM functions.
- The addition of Solids turns Mastercam into a true hybrid modeler.
- Based on the industry-leading Parasolid’ kernel, Mastercam Solids delivers powerful solid modeling with an eye for production.
