Mastercam 2025 Swept 3D Toolpath: All options are explained in detail for beginners in Hindi by Amit Chatter CAM Solutions Ludhiana (PUNJAB).
The Swept 3D Toolpath in Mastercam 2025 is a 3D finishing toolpath that creates a smooth, continuous surface by sweeping a 2D curve along a 3D path.
Swept 3D Toolpath Parameters:
1. Tool: Selects tool geometry.
2. Feed/Speed: Sets feed rate and spindle speed.
3. Depth/Clearance: Sets depth and clearance values.
4. Stepover: Sets stepover distance.
5. Lead In/Out: Defines lead-in and lead-out types.
6. Curve/Surface: Select a 2D curve and a 3D path.
7. Orientation: Controls tool orientation along the path.
8. Tangent: Controls tangent direction at start/end points.
9. Blend Sets blend radius for smooth transitions.
Swept 3D Toolpath Options:
1. Cut Pattern: Select a cut pattern (e.g., zig-zag, spiral).
2. Tool Axis Control: Controls tool axis orientation.
3. Collision Avoidance: Enables collision avoidance.
4. Rest Machining: Enables rest machining.
5. Optimize: Optimizes toolpath for reduced machining time.
Swept 3D Toolpath Types:
1. Curve-on-Surface Swept: Sweeps 2D curve on 3D surface.
2. Curve-on-Curve Swept: Sweeps 2D curve along 3D curve.
3. Surface-on-Surface Swept: Sweeps 3D surface along 3D path.
