Features: This book takes MastercamX as a reference, introducing the 2D drawing, 3D feature creation and editing, and practical examples of 2D and 3D machining methods in Mastercam software. It is a distillation of the author's learning methods and experience summarized from years of work and teaching. Through numerous typical modeling and machining examples in the book, readers can intuitively and quickly grasp the main functions and usage methods of the latest version of the software. The book is divided into 8 chapters. Chapter 1 introduces the basic environment of MastercamX; Chapter 2 explains the meaning and settings of various parameters; Chapters 3 and 4 introduce 2D and 3D drawing and parameter modification through examples; Chapter 5 discusses the basic concepts of common settings and operation processes for CNC machining in Mastercam, such as tool setup and management, workpiece setup, toolpath simulation, and post-processing; Chapter 6 introduces 2D machining operations based on example machining, including contour milling, pocket milling, and face milling; Chapter 7 introduces 3D rough and finishing operations based on example machining, including parallel milling, radial milling, and streamline machining; Chapter 8 takes comprehensive 3D machining examples as the carrier, from model analysis, workpiece determination, and tool setup to detailed introductions of toolpath planning and machining concepts, until 3D machining simulation and post-processing. The book guides readers in-depth to understand and master the methods and techniques of CAM machining. This book can serve as a practical training manual, a textbook for CAD/CAM courses in mechanical manufacturing majors at junior college and undergraduate levels, and a self-study reference book. It is also suitable as a teaching aid for mechanical industry designers learning software independently.
