Mastercam is the most commonly used CAD/CAM software worldwide* and remains the program of choice among CNC programmers. Mastercam X2 is the next generation of our popular program, delivering a new simplified, customizable interface with more power, and CAD tools designed for the NC programmer. Included with most Mastercam CAM packages, Mastercam X2 Design is also available as a stand-alone package.

Efficient Wireframe Geometry

·Multiple point and line creation techniques.
·Efficient arc, circle, and fillet functions, including filleting at every corner in a chain of entities.
·Create splines on surfaces using a variety of functions including surface projections, surface intersections, edge curves, slicing ·curves, and parting lines.
·Create pre-filleted shapes to save time.

Flexible Geometry Editing

·Change widths, styles, and colors globally or for a single entity.
·Quickly modify parameters such as line length and arc radius after creation.
·Fillet or chamfer corners easily.
·Extend lines, arcs, splines, and surfaces.
·Trim single or multiple surfaces with full undo capability.
·Quickly translate, mirror, and scale (uniformly or with separate factors in X, Y, and Z).
·Offset entities by a given distance.

Powerful Surface Modeling

·Create parametric and NURBS surfaces using loft, ruled, revolved, swept, draft, and offset creation methods.
·"Fence” and “net” surfaces expand your modeling power.
·Trim single and multiple surfaces to curves, planes and surfaces.
·Easily extend and split surfaces.
·New “smart” extension for trimmed surfaces avoids pitfalls with traditional trimmed surface extension.
·Flexible surface filleting offers constant radius fillets and point-and-click variable radius fillets.
·Automatic parting line calculation for mold making.
·Create, edit, and manipulate realistically shaded surface models.

Easy Drafting Tools

·One-pick dimensioning.
·Modify dimensional geometry and its dimensions automatically update.
·Easily drag and place drafting notes as they are being created and change their attributes on the fly.

File Management and Data Exchange

·Built-in data translators for IGES, Parasolid®, SAT (ACIS solids), AutoCAD® (DXF, DWG, and Inventor TM files), SolidWorks®, Solid Edge®, STEP, EPS, CADL, STL, VDA, and ASCII. Direct translators for CATIA®, Pro/E®, and more are also available.
·Special no-charge Mastercam Direct add-ons put Mastercam in your SolidWorks, Solid Edge, or AutoCAD Inventor toolbars.
·Save a description of your files for easier browsing and loading.
·View files before opening them.

Selection Options

·AutoCursorTM snaps to commonly used points to simplify construction.
·Smart chaining selects an entire chain of entities at once and automates other selection tasks.

Geometry Analysis

·Instantly analyze any entity for size, location, entity type, and other attributes.
·Check the integrity of surface models and trimmed surface boundaries.
