For your Drilling Purposes, the ‘Entities’ option, or the ‘Window Points’ option will work well. You will be prompted to assign a ‘Toolpath Name’, and ‘NC name’ – please do not use spaces.ĭrill Point Selection With the ‘Drill Point Selection’ window now open you have multiple ways to select your geometry. Next, select ‘Toolpath,’ at the top of your screen, and choose the ‘Drill…’ option.
The help menus are very intuitive ! to your right, you will see a 300 x 321 x 6,5 Solid (Display) Stock positioned on the correct origin.Ī.

Stock When you are finished, select the checkmark button at the bottom of the window to apply the options. Click on the ’Display ’ box next, and choose ‘Wireframe’ or ‘Solid’. We can also choose how our Stock is displayed with the ‘Display Options’. Make sure you insert your origin values as well in the ‘Stock Origin’ area. This can be done by clicking the top left corner (As shown above). Stock Size and Origin In the gray window, insert the dimensions of your stock. You should have a window similar to the one shown in the figures on the right on your screen. Here you will set up your stock size for simulation and post processing purposes. Select ‘Stock Setup’ in your Ops Manager.ġC Stock Setup a.
Your ‘Machine Group’ contains all the external properties such as stock size and origin, equipment, and tool settings. Operations Manager The ‘Operations Manager’ contains all the tools you will need to create toolpaths, edit, and back-plot. You must always have a ‘Main Layer’- so if you are looking to turn off one of your layers, and cannot do so you may have to right clock on another layer and make it your ‘Main Layer’. Here you can control your Layers from Rhino. Left click on ‘Level’, and the ‘Level Manager’ will open. Towards the bottom of your screen you may control your layers.

Feel free to title these as you please make sure no spaces are used. Hit ‘Enter’ to accept a new ‘Machine Group’ and be sure to delete your previous ‘Machine Group’. At the top of your screen, please select Machine Type/ Router/Multicam Generic 4x Router MM. Before we even begin creating toolpaths, we will first select the equipment that will be used. We may have to hit ‘Enter’ afterwards to approve a new ‘Machine Group’. Once Mastercam is open, we will immediately open your file. See Figure 1.2a and 1.2b Once you have your file created, save as a. Mastercam will convert your layers to ‘levels’.- and function very similar. Levels/ Layers Feel free to create geometries on different layers. This is very important - all jobs run in the KTH DFL CNC Router should have Top of Stock set to Zero. This should also be the case with your model with it’s upper left most point located at the origin. It displays a rectangle with its upper left corner positioned on the origin point.
With time you will begin to understand how this program works, and you will learn to complete these tasks but for the time being- stick with what you know! Origin Point The origin point in any program should be 0,0,0.
While this program provides numerous possibilities as a CAD/ CAM gateway, simple tasks such as moving a point from one area to another proves to be very difficult. Please prepare your model as much as possible to avoid having to edit any imperfections later on in MasterCam. Mastercam will also work with other modeling programs - Maya, 3DS, and Solidwork are all supported. Create a 3d model file a) The DFL´s preferred modeling program is Rhinoceros.
