Save Time, Wear, and Money with Feed Rate Optimization
Running an entire job at a single feed rate reduces efficiency. Running the same job at varying feed rates can save time, tool wear, and money. Our High Feed Machining function can optimize any 2-axis or 3-axis toolpath based on volume of material being removed and machine tool limitations to give you efficient, varied feed rates tailored to each job.
![]() Mastercam slows the feed rate through deep material and speeds it up through more shallow stock. |
![]() Based on the part and machine tool characteristics, Mastercam adjusts the feed rate around corners and small radii for smooth transition in tight areas. |
- Automatically vary feed rates based on volume. More material and the cutter moves slower; less material and the cutter moves faster.
- Automatically ease the tool into and out of corners.
- Create libraries of optimization settings for different jobs.
