nc file extension) contains a list of coordinates that the machine must follow in order to excavate the desired form from the stock material. These paths are translated into machine-readable instructions through a process called posting. CAM applications use input geometry alongside machine+tool+stock definitions and user-specified parameters to generate a set of curves called tool paths. MasterCAM is a software suite of Computer Aided Machining (CAM) applications developed by CNC Software, Inc.

You have any further queries then please do not hesitate to contact us.MasterCAM 2020 now features the ability to import geometry from Rhino V6. Whilst we're not able to provide a solution to this at the moment I hope that this helps to explain why you are seeing this and if I can see in this case however that this is not beneficial and have passed this along as a feature request to specify a zero allowanceįor the clearance pass, though I cannot say if or when this will be implemented at the moment I'm afraid. The quality of the finish in some circumstances. It will always leave a small allowance of material behind to be finished by the smaller tool to aid with I've checked over the file and spoken to our development team who have confirmed that this is the intended behaviour of Thank you for trying that and sending the file over, They will consider giving the user an option for the clearance strategy. David's( Vectric Support) response was consistent with our discussion here. I contacted Vectric Support to better understand their strategy on the clearance tool path. One such way is to pop over to the gadget request forum and see if someone is willing to program a pocket toolpath gadget that only uses the small tools to get into the corners. But until they do we either have to accept it or come up with other ways accomplish what we want. Will Vectric change that way? Again I don't know. But the first way is how it is currently.

here is the smaller tool(s) you can use to get into the corners.

here is the large tool I want cut the toolpath with.

How you think (and you are not alone) the pocket toolpath should work is: Version 10.x adds the ability to have more than one area clearance tool but the logic remains.

but it would take too long to do so here is the tool (1" in my example) that I wish you to use to eliminate the bulk of the material.

here is the tool (1/8" in the sample image below) that I want to cut the pocket with.

The profile toolpath (at least in version 9.519 that I have) tool selection behaves like this: People really do love to sling the word "bug" around when something behaves differently from how they think it should. Since no one on the forum is offering a reason for this behavior, I will contact Vetcric support.
