MULTIAXIS CONTROL
Multiaxis Toolpath generation is all about Control
1. Cut Pattern Control – Guides the tool’s cutting directions
2. Tool Axis Control – Orientation of the tool’s center axis as it
follows the cut pattern
3. Tool Tip Control – Geometry that the tool tip is compensated
(along tool axis) to follow
4. Collision Control – Adjusts cut pattern to minimize gouges

For best results, create multiaxis operations in this order

MULTIAXIS CONTROL
3. Tool Tip Control
When Mastercam creates a 5-axis toolpath, first it generates a number of tool
positions along the user’s chosen Cut Pattern

36
MULTIAXIS CONTROL
3. Tool Tip Control
Mastercam then assigns tool vectors to every one of those positions, based on
the Tool Axis Control method chosen by the user

37
MULTIAXIS CONTROL
3. Tool Tip Control
Finally, Mastercam compensates the tool to a desired depth (along the Tool
Axis) based on the Tool Tip Control method.

38
MULTIAXIS CONTROL
3. Tool Tip Control
Using this knowledge, a simple multiaxis strategy (for a complex part) would be
to create a clean ‘core’ to generate the cut pattern and tool axis control.
Then apply tool tip compensation to drive the cutter on the complex surface.

ADVANCED OPTIONS

Dynamic Work Offset (DWO)


Allows the user to easily program
the part anywhere in 5 axis space.
Once set up, the Part Work Offset
(G54.2P1) is compared to the
Machine Origin (G54) and the
controller re-calculates all
coordinates in the code.
