Multi Axis Pocketing with Mastercam

Lets hop into Day 3 of Ron Week!
Todays video Ron takes us back into roughing, this time with a MultiAxis toolpath, the newly renamed Mastercam MultiAxis Pocket. In versions prior to Mastercam 2021 this was call MultiAxis Roughing.
Before hopping into roughing, a Stock Model is created. This serves several purposes. Not only an in process check but it can also be used in simulation to skip over the previously proved out operations.
The roughing is being done on the two side pockets of this part. The pockets are similar, the main difference is the one pockets has walls which angle out, the other has walls which angle in. These angled in walls will create an undercut feature which is difficult to cut without a MultiAxis toolpath. The floor of these pockets is convex as well, again leading towards the need for a MultiAxis toolpath.
The MultiAxis Pocket toolpath works great for features like and can also use Accelerated Finishing tools.
Last toolpath for this video is the MultiAxis Parallel toolpath again. This time it is being used to finish a non flat face, the floor of these pockets.
As you may have noticed in the previous videos, there is more than just Mastercam toolpath wisdom in these. Hope you are all enjoying Ron Week so far, there is only 1 day left!

thanks you

[@koenig]

Thanks for the advice!

Glad it was useful!

excelent

Awesome

Thanks, glad you enjoyed!

i love your channel but im a bit disappointed
you explain to us basic things like planes and levels, show us how to pick drives like walls and floors but dont tell us anything about the settings what those are for and how to use it
9:47 im not going through the detail, collision control dont mess with any a these why, it is what it is...
by the way we in our place dont use work coordinates systems from iso program (it being controlled by Mazak settings)
we also been told by CNC software (smart engineers who created mastercam ) that for multiaxis toolpath we should program everything in planes TOP/TOP/TOP
using feedrate instead of rapid eliminates your possibility of controlling rapid transitions by keeping your control on 10%

thanks for sharing
it is good to see how people program things using their 5 axis knowledge (iv been doing 5x for very looong time)

mazaks support work offsets... but every machine and post processor combo is going to be different.

There was a lot covered in these videos. Many toolpaths, many concepts, many strategies. Diving completely into a single toolpath was not the intention. If you want to see more on this part or have questions, sign up for our BIG Event. Its a virtual CAM conference in February. Its FREE to attend. Will be lots of different speakers and you will have the opportunity to ask questions...you could ask about those settings if you wish.

This suck guy made me disappointed with this channel though. You never were allowed to talk in your family?? Leave the empty tree on left side and go ahead program from A to Z to show to people ok

This video is part 3 in this 4 part series. Maybe you should watch the others. This part was programmed from start to finish. There is also a continuation of this part in one of the Big Event videos.
