Mastercam Mill

Faster Turnaround and Superior Finish

High Speed Machining (HSM) is a powerful cutting method that combines high feed rates with high spindle speeds, specific tools, and specific tool motion. HSM can deliver faster turnaround and a superior finish. Mastercam includes a suite of HSM functions designed to help you make the most of this powerful technique, even if you don’t have a high speed machine.

horizontal milling
New Dynamic Milling creates an active toolpath that delivers more consistent cutting conditions.

horizontal milling
Automatically machine flat areas using new time-saving minimum retracts and smooth entry, exit, and cut motion.

Contour parts with smooth, consistent ramping motion.

Projected spiral finishing delivers a smooth cut with consistent material contact.

High speed toolpaths for 2D and 3D machining.
Dynamic Milling creates an active toolpath that delivers more consistent cutting conditions and allows use of the entire tool flute length.
Automatically machine flat areas using new time-saving minimum retracts and smooth entry, exit and cut motion.
Contour parts with smooth, consistent ramping motion.
High speed scallop cutting delivers a consistent finish.
Projected spiral finishing delivers a smooth cut with consistent material contact.
High speed waterline cutting delivers constant Z moves with smooth entries and exits.
Smooth, automated circle milling.
Specialized high speed pencil tracing removes material from a previous finish pass.
High speed area clearance removes bulk material from the inside out with smooth motion.
Smart core roughing cuts from the outside in. If it encounters a pocket, it automatically switches to inside out.
High speed rest roughing smoothly removes material left from a previous rough pass.
Full holder checking for high speed toolpaths, including checking under the holder.
