My post is very straightforward for once!
Mastercam 2022 has been officially released. I am pretty comfortable in saying this is the most substantial Mastercam release since Mastercam 2017 came out and changed the entire interface. For an analogy, the past few releases have felt like iOS updates (14.2.2, 14.4.1 etc) whereas this release feels like a whole OS update (iOS 15).
Some of the new features are killer. 5-axis Unified toolpath is a big big change. Additionally, Mill Basic customers will now have access to OptiRough which is nice. Mesh tools have been added to actually utilize STL files and create usable geometry from it. There are honestly so many good improvements I can't even list out. Many things have been added to reduce clicks - things like automatic regen dirty ops (finally).
Theyve put out quite an extensive breakdown here:

Edit: Oh yea, the Home Learning Edition now offers access to Blade Expert, Port Expert, and Productivity +
Super happy bout that.
