May ，Sandvik released a sculpture that combines the artistic essence of Michelangelo and other five masters.，It uses a combination of artificial intelligence.（AI）、Cutting-edge manufacturing solutions、First-class cutting tools and other technologies and products，Famous CAD/CAMSoftware Mastercam It also plays an important role in it.。Today，Let's talk about the unique skill of this digital artifact.。

Mastercam Set 2D Drawing、3D solid modeling、Surface design、Merge model、NC programming、Tool path simulation and entity simulation verification are all in one.，The ability is very strong，At present, the global installed capacity is over 300,000 sets，Is the most widely used in the world. CAD/CAM Software。Mastercam Was created by CNC Software Company，2021，The company officially became a member of the Sandvik Group.。

Optimize the manufacturing process

Science & Technology

Mastercam It goes beyond the traditional CAD/CAM（Computer-aided design/Computer-aided manufacturing） Software，Because it selects the best tool and toolpath for the programming job.。

Whether it's making auto parts.，Or will AI The unique artwork generated becomes a reality.，Mastercam Can ensure that the manufacturing process is optimized，Intelligent selection of optimal cutters and passes，In order to save production costs to the maximum extent.，And that production efficiency is improve。

Mastercam The generated tool paths help engineers to machine parts accurately and efficiently.，And import or design the actual part on their user interface。Sandvik CoroPlus® Tool Library As a plug-in with Mastercam Integration，Helps you use the right tool to get the job done。

“By using CoroPlus Integration of tool libraries，Users can accelerate and simplify tool data management，Provide a more relaxed experience。”Sandvik Coromant Product Manager Tobias Unosson Say。

CAD Design that focuses on the appearance and function of a product or part，And CAM Focus on how to make it.，Combined with artificial intelligence technology，Whether it's a car crankshaft.、Interior skeleton of kitchen faucet，Or is it a combination of artist and creative sculpture?，Can be easily achieved.。

 “Manufacture AI Designed’Impossible Statue’，Yes Mastercam It's my first try.。” Mastercam Application technology manager Wang Ke said.：“This is an exciting opportunity and challenge.，We are very happy to be involved in such a creative project.。”

One CAM Systems need three components to function.: Tool paths are generated by software to tell the machine how to make the product.；Industrial machinery can transform raw materials into finished products.；The post-processing stage can translate the tool path into a language that the machine can understand.。CAMIt plays a vital role in the digital manufacturing process.，Advanced and innovative solutions for manufacturing automation design。

Simplify multitasking

Science & Technology

Mastercam The efficient solution of simplifies the multitasking involved in programming，And simplifies the programming of complex parts.，It also enables the selection of tools to be used from the entire tool library available to the manufacturer。“It is very important to select the appropriate tool according to the blank and the actual processing situation.，Because it means whether the production cost can be saved.。”Wang Ke explained。

Mastercam Support for tool path simulation and solid simulation，And collision checking，Ensure the safety of the passes in the actual machining。Tool paths are optimized and synchronized in the GUI。

Mastercam Designed through efficient machining strategies and advanced tool path technology（For example for milling and turning Accelerated Finishing™ Superstring finishing techniques and Dynamic Motion™ Dynamic processing technology）To reduce production time and cost。The software prepares the machining model by doing the following，Include：

Check whether the model has any graphic element errors that may affect the machining process.；

To create a tool path for a model，This is the cutting path that the machine will follow during machining；

Set any required machine parameters，Including cutting speed、Voltage、Cut/Perforation height, etc；

In the typography settings，CAMThe software automatically sets the orientation of the part，Maximize processing efficiency。

Tailor-made scheme combined with tool library

Science & Technology

Mastercam Can customize the tool library according to the user's needs。Wang Ke introduced this.：“ Mastercam You can import a tool library，Including cutting tools、Tool holder and tool clamping combination, etc.。After importing the tool magazine，Create tool path to program and machine the part。”

As a member of the Sandvik Group，Mastercam It can also cooperate with other departments，Give full play to their respective strengths。Sandvik Coromant Tool Solutions and Mastercam Strong combination of software，It brings incomparable advantages.，For example PrimeTurning™ Turning concept，Omnidirectional turning can be realized.，Compared to traditional turning，More efficient and productive。

“Customers no longer have to flip through websites or catalogs to find the right knife.。Just set the job parameters——Type of material、Cutting depth、Cutting type and direction, etc.——Sandvik will provide users with correct and efficient solutions.。“Wang Ke said。

As an important intelligent manufacturing platform，Mastercam For Global Aerospace、Car、Ship、Medical、Electric appliance、Manufacturing industries such as light industrial products and moulds offer a variety ofCAD/CAMSolution。With the development of technology,，Mastercam It will also keep pace with the times，Create more surprises，Explore digital manufacturing with more customers。
