Mastercam X4 offers user productivity benefit

Dynamic Machining – This new machining technique creates an active toolpath that delivers more consistent cutting conditions and allows use of the entire tool flute length, saving both time and money. Dynamic machining offers flexible retract options to keep the tool down in smaller parts, and rapid retract on larger parts. Multi-Threading – Mastercam Mill delivers multi-threading support, dividing complex tasks in a multi-core computer, and delivering faster processing and other benefits. You have the option to turn this on or off. When used in a single-core environment, multi-threading allows users to multi-task, prioritise running and pending tasks, and monitor the progress of toolpath calculation, which increases productivity. Mastercam for SolidWorks – Mastercam for SolidWorks is fully integrated CAM that runs seamlessly in SolidWorks. SolidWorks users can now program their parts directly within SolidWorks using Mastercam's industry-leading toolpaths and machining strategies. Mastercam for SolidWorks includes a suite of cutting strategies, including Feature Based Machining (FBM) and 3D High Speed Machining (HSM) toolpaths. HSM promotes longer tool life, faster machining time, and precision cutting by creating smooth cuts that eliminate dangerous sharp moves. Mastercam for SolidWorks also delivers a powerful set of automated cleanup toolpaths, letting you get parts off the machine faster and with little or no handwork. Other X4 features include: - Powerful 3D toolpath refiner for dramatically better finish - Feature Based Machining Drill enhancements - Feature Based Machining Mill enhancements - Tree-style dialog boxes for 2D toolpaths - Circle 5-axis toolpath - Agie Support
