Mastercam Wire – Creating Tabs and Transforming Toolpaths

By March 9, 2021No Comments

Mastercam Wire is a computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software that is commonly used to program wire electrical discharge machining (EDM) machines. To program tabs in Mastercam Wire, users can create a separate geometry chain for each tab location, and then create a separate wirepath for each chain. Users can also specify the size and shape of the tabs by adjusting the wirepath parameters. To transform toolpaths in Mastercam Wire, users can use the Transform tool, which allows them to rotate, scale, and translate wirepaths to different locations. Additionally, users can use the Mirror tool to flip the wirepaths along a specified plane. With these tools, users can efficiently program wire EDM machines to create accurate and precise parts.
