Please Note: It is strongly recommended to have a good understanding of 2D machining before beginning this book. The Mastercam X6 Mill Level 3 Training Tutorial features seven projects and seven accompanying practice exercises that span a wide degree of complexity. All of the parts are designed with machinability in mind and include suggested fixtures and tool setups. Clearly laid out objectives and dimensioned step previews are easier than ever to follow along.

Over one thousand pages of content cover 3D wireframe and surface geometry creation, Surface Finish and Roughing toolpaths. An emphasis is put on the advanced Surface High Speed toolpaths, including the new X6 High Speed toolpaths such as OptiRest, OptiArea and OptiCore, STL Stock creation and its use in solid model verification. Also covered is how to create and manage Stock models in the Toolpath Manager. Machine Simulation is used to check for collisions between the part, the tool and any of the machine’s components.
