Moldplus, a Mastercam third-party partner, announced V10.6 of its Moldplus software, which includes new features in the 5-axis toolkit and various internal enhancements to the overall software solution.
In the new release, once the geometries for the curves and vectors are created using the automatic function or the manual edge selection method, the geometry can be directly passed to the Mastercam curve 5-axis parameters and have the toolpath created.
Users can create curves and vectors by clicking on edges, and output the curves as parametric splines to allow for better machining results. The system allows users to quickly identify and create welding geometry (curves and vectors based on the intersection of edges) for the robotic welding industry.
The selector for isolating inner and outer shell offers a slide bar to select faces on complex models more easily. Fillet faces (concave or convex) alone can be isolated and stored on separate layers.
