Mastercam X4 Wire Released

By DE Editors

Mastercam X4 Wire delivers part modeling and EDM programming, tab creation, and wirepath verification. Mastercam’s streamlined CAD engine makes design work easier because each piece of geometry is “live,” letting users modify it until it’s exactly what is needed.

Mastercam X4 Wire delivers a set of programming tools, including:

• 2- and 4-axis programming
• 2-axis contouring, with or without taper angle
• Efficient no-core cutting
• Straight and tapered cut (with or without land) from either direction
• Contour multiple parts using a single window selection
• Automatic wirepath corner filleting
• Optional lead trimming
• Automatic tabs with user-definable stop types
• “No Drop Out” tab option helps avoid slivers.

Mastercam X4 has been designed for ease of use. It has fully associative wirepaths that are linked with the geometry to allow users to modify any element of the job and immediately get updated wirepaths without starting over. Mastercam’s CAD File Change Recognition tracks files from Mastercam or any other CAD system and will show what’s been changed for easy wirepath updating. User-customizable wire power libraries store power settings and other registers for rough and skim passes.  Mastercam also includes new support for Agie EDM with Agievision controls.
