Mastercam multiaxis debur path generic 3 axis FANUC post error
The Haas 3x post still has the extra logic in it for 4th, whereas the Fanuc 3x does not. I'd guess it has something to do with that. Maybe just grab the generic 4X fanuc and turn off the 4th output. Should be good then. -

This thread is hilarious. :popcorn: I'm imagining this is the actual JROC from the Trailer Park Boys and he just wants to diagnose Julian's car and design a cat house for Bubbles, but he needed advice from the internet on a computer purchase....and here we are! KnowWhadImSayin!? -
Mastercam popularity
Let that sink in...large successful companies would rather provide the tool that makes the employee more efficient than buy the software that is cheapest. So many shops out there struggling, thinking the opposite is the path to success. -
Mastercam popularity
SpaceX and Boeing both use Mastercam. I guess they are considered OEM but whatever, point remains valid. If we're talking CAD, ya. I doubt Mastercam is being used for CAD design of anything in production. CAM, Mastercam is everywhere, hence the popularity thread. -
Mastercam popularity
Do you want to pay $9k to fix the broken machine or pay $9k to not break the machine :D ...before the fusion gang attacks, this is just a joke based on the two quoted comments. I shouldn't have to point that out but I can already picture the next 3 pages in this thread if I didn't. -
Mastercam popularity
Last year was the change. They changed to a licensing system, still free, you just have to put your email in, takes about 2 minutes. So now, the software doesn't expire, your license just needs to be renewed. You would do this yearly. -
Mastercam popularity
You started this thread not wanting to know why its popular, only wanting to shit on the software and talk up some other product. You don't care about the business decisions behind their market share, nor the business decisions of the buyers for wanting it in their shops. If you're gonna shit... -

Where can I go to learn Solidworks and Mastercam? Is fusion 360 any good?
You should learn the software that your shop is using. No point in learning software X if your shop uses software Y...unless you don't plan on staying. That said, the best software to learn to give yourself the most employment options is Mastercam for CAM and Solidworks for CAD. -
Why don't you use conversational programming?
What about running the part on different machines? Waste of time programming a part conversationally for each different machine when its just a simple switching of the post in CAM.- goooose

Meta Language for generating CNC code
You're describing how macros work. Problem with your 'language' is hiding all the guts behind 'toilet bowl'. Just because you wrote the function on how to cut a toilet bowl, doesn't mean I want to cut it that way. Then, by the time you incorporate all the variables that need to be included on...- goooose

Mastercam deburing off an stl
Solid chaining won't work on a mesh model. I would suggest trying to use a solid model though. Can you not make a copy of the original and then use model prep functions to adjust. Then, if you do make further adjustments at least the toolpaths are associated to the model and will move with it. -
Mastercam deburing off an stl
Why are you wanting to use the resulting simulated model? But yes, you can just create a Stock Model mid process, then convert it to a Mesh Model. Use that Mesh to drive your toolpaths. You may need to create curves on edges if thats how you want to drive your deburr. But still, toolpathing off...
