What’s new in Mastercam 2023
Consolidating Multiaxis Toolpaths.Morph, Parallel, Along Curve, and Project Curve are no longer individual toolpaths in Mastercam 2023. Instead, the Unified toolpath allows access to these cut patterns when you add the appropriate curves. For example, to create a toolpath that morphs between two surfaces, select Unified from the Multiaxis toolpaths, and then set the Cut Pattern to two surfaces with the Morph style.
Toolpaths in files from previous releases are automatically converted to a Unified toolpath as follows:
– Morph: Becomes the Unified toolpath with a Cut Pattern of two curves or surfaces with the Morph style.
– Parallel (set to Curves or Surface): Becomes the Unified toolpath with a Cut Pattern of one curve or surface with the Parallel style.
– Parallel (set to Angle): Becomes the Unified toolpath with a Cut Pattern of Plane with the style set to the appropriate plane.
– Along Curve: Becomes the Unified toolpath with a Cut Pattern of Curve with the Perpendicular style.
– Project Curve: Becomes the Unified toolpath with a Cut Pattern of Curve with the Project style.
Detecting Undercut Stock When Machining.The Dynamic OptiRough and Area Roughing toolpaths can now be aware of undercut stock conditions, resulting in improvement to the toolpath motion, including less air cutting.
New B-Axis Contour Turning Toolpath.Mastercam 2023 introduces a new toolpath to the Turning suite for the Mill-Turn product. B-Axis Contour Turning is a finishing toolpath that allows for rotation of the B-axis while the tool is cutting. The toolpath features a top-down workflow and provides you with either Automatic or Manual motion control. Automatic mode produces safe toolpath motion that keeps the insert in contact with the contour. Manual mode offers full control over the B-axis angles along the contour.

Mastercam 2023 is here to elevate your machining experience with powerful toolpaths, faster organized set ups, flexible tool motion, and our most intuitive interface yet. Here are the top 10 new Mastercam 2023 features – and how they can help you.
