Tool axis control is what separates multiaxis toolpaths from normal surface, chain, and point toolpaths. The ability to manipulate the angle of the tool, relative to the cut pattern, puts a greater amount of control in your hands. The cut speed, finish quality, and tool life can all be affected with tool axis control.
The power of multiaxis drill becomes apparent on parts that contain multiple holes with center lines pointing in different directions. Your multiaxis machine is capable of drilling many different holes with a single fixture setup, saving time and increasing productivity.
Curve/Drill 5-axis is the perfect entry into multiaxis machining, creating quality toolpaths while reducing programming time.
Key Features
- Curve 5-axis cuts a 3D chain or surface edges, generally for 5-axis trimming operations.
- Drill 5-axis simplifies the creation of 3-to 5-axis drilling output for holes in a part.
- Cost effective way to get into 5-axis machining.
- Generates 5-axis code that can run any CNC machine.

Multiaxis machining can dramatically increase a shop's competitiveness, and Mastercam's multiaxis add-on offers a wide range of multiaxis machining strategies—both basic and advanced. With Mastercam, you have complete control over the three crucial elements of multiaxis machining: toolpath types, tool motion, and tool axis.
Streamlined multiaxis programming tools make projects easier than ever before. With features from multisurface 5-axis roughing and swarf fanning, to easy 4-axis rotary axis and roll die programming, Mastercam ensures accurate cuts and fast turnaround on even the toughest jobs.
Key Features
- Multisurface 5-axis roughing and finishing, including depth cuts, plunge roughing, and flowline machining.
- Mastercam's advanced multiaxis machining lets you choose what type of project you are doing, and adjusts the interface to show exactly what you need.
- 5-axis surface machining cuts highly complex shapes with a smooth, consistent motion.
- Axis limits control tool motion between defined angles, ensuring the tool tilt will not violate part or machine tool limits.
- Advanced gouge-checking and a 5-axis safe zone around the part help ensure safe cuts in even the most complex operations.
High yields can be crucial to a job's profitability. Mastercam includes essential nesting capabilities for parts and toolpaths that assure optimal material usage for the highest possible yields. With the capability to save sheet scrap for later use to the ability to create custom labels and reports, Mastercam's Nesting function can help keep your shop running efficiently.
Mastercam's standard nesting delivers a fast, efficient, and easily identifiable way of nesting your parts. Mastercam's advanced nesting gives a variety of additional tools, including TrueShape nesting and nesting in scrap material.
Key Features
- Fast, efficient interlocking part nesting maximizes material use.
- Complete control over part-to-part distance, sheet margins, and more.
- Easily "drag" parts around on your sheet.
- Directly place CAD models from a variety of sources.
- Group sets of parts and assign part nesting priorities.
- Double-sided and common-edge nesting.
- Custom sheet definition and "filler" parts reduce waste.
- Automatic vertical/horizontal cut-offs preserve rectangular leftovers.
