You no longer need a separate software package for Swiss machines — something programmers and machinists appreciate. 

Our Swiss machining solutions combine Mastercam Mill and Mastercam Lathe with specialized post processors. This configuration adds machine-specific controls inside the Mastercam interface, delivering accurate G-code for a wide variety of Swiss machines.

The solution provides customized parameters directly within Mastercam for:

• Lathe stock advance.
• Specific machine setup parameters.
• Expandable custom machine options.
• User-specified options.

Mastercam's industry-leading milling and turning power combine to deliver efficient, precise Swiss programming.

Mastercam Mill-Turn simplifies today’s high-powered, multistream machining centers.

With Mastercam, your workflow is efficient. Choose your machine, and Mastercam Mill-Turn automates part transfers, tool planes, stock definition, and setup. Then apply your toolpaths, quickly synchronize them, verify your project with simulation, and post your code. Changes along the way are fast and easy — the way programming should be.

Mill-Turn's Sync Manager is a user-friendly way to optimize part cycle times and manage interactions between toolpath operations. Easily navigate our Gantt-style timeline and vertical stream interface to coordinate operations and track cycle times.

Fast, flexible setup, synchronization, and simulation combine to help you get the most out of your mill-turn machines.

Designed for efficiency.

Mastercam Wire lets you move a single part file between machines, saving time and avoiding mistakes. User-customizable wire libraries store power settings and other registers for rough and skim passes.
Other features include:

• Efficient tab creation and management.
• Control settings for corner types and taper angles at any point in the contour.
• Straight or tapered cut from either direction.

From 2- and 4-axis cutting to easy syncing and complete tab control, Mastercam Wire delivers tools for fast, efficient wire programming.

Mastercam Router offers solutions for all your 2D, 3D, or multiaxis challenges — from wood to composites.

Once you program a part, no matter how complex, you can modify any element of the job and immediately get updated toolpaths without slowing down. You can also build a library of your favorite machining strategies and apply them to new models.

Mastercam’s powerful Dynamic Motion technology not only helps extend tool life and reduce machine wear, but helps eliminate tool dwell damage as well. Automatic Toolpathing (ATP) brings in parts from today’s top design packages to help speed flat panel work.

Mastercam Router streamlines multiple tool programming including block drills and aggregate heads.

Part and toolpath nesting increase project yields and profitability.

A comprehensive package of powerful tools.

2D machining can range from simple to very complex. Mastercam Router delivers powerful 2D tools from contouring, pocketing, and drilling to automated, feature-based, solid model programming.

For 3D machining, Mastercam Router gives you streamlined, efficient 3D roughing and finishing, including automated leftover stock cleanup.

Mastercam’s multiaxis capabilities give you complete control over the three crucial elements of multiaxis machining: cut pattern, tool axis control, and collision avoidance.

Design parts and drive your router, mill, or lathe, with ease and precision for 2D, 3D, and multiaxis machining.

With Mastercam toolpaths integrated directly within the SOLIDWORKS environment, the toolpaths are applied directly to the part or assembly. Intelligent use of design tables and multiple configurations makes working with families of parts easy.

Mastercam’s powerful Dynamic Motion technology not only helps extend tool life and reduce machine wear, but helps eliminate tool dwell damage as well. Automatic Toolpathing (ATP) brings in parts from today’s top design packages to help speed flat panel work.

As a Certified Gold Product, Mastercam for SOLIDWORKS delivers the absolute best in 2- through 5-axis milling, routing, and turning CAD/CAM integration.

Mastercam's active Stock Model, Toolpath Verification, and Simulation mean increased confidence on every project. Tool library support, including CoroPlus® and MachiningCloud, helps you make tooling decisions fast.

Flexible and expandable.

No matter how complex a part, with toolpath associativity, any modification to the job means the toolpaths are updated immediately. You can also build a library of your favorite machining strategies, apply them to a part, and Mastercam helps adapt them to the new model. Because Mastercam for SOLIDWORKS is a fully integrated SOLIDWORKS Certified Gold Product, it’s fast, easy, and productive — the way programming should be.

Quickly and easily separate solid assemblies.

Automatically identify complex hole geometry including intersecting and non-conventional holes.

Whether you are prepping customer files…

Getting a part file from an outside source can pose unique challenges. You might need to repair a surface, work with a mesh, cap or hide a feature, create an electrode, or just make sure your fixtures are represented on the part. Mastercam includes a powerful set of model prep tools to make sure the process goes smoothly. From robust surface creation and editing to “push-pull” solid model editing, Mastercam gives you the tools to bring a part from the designer’s desk to your machining process, fast.

…or designing your parts from scratch.

Having powerful CAD at your fingertips makes your CAM system that much more effective. Mastercam includes a robust set of modeling tools, from complete wireframe to surface and solid modeling. A true hybrid modeling system, Mastercam lets you create, combine, and machine whichever CAD geometry suits your needs.
