What Mastercam X Lathe Delivers:

Powerful Part Modeling

Mastercam X's new, streamlined CAD engine makes design work easier than ever before. Each piece of geometry you create is “live”, letting you quickly modify it until it's exactly what you want. And with traditional functions consolidated into a few simple clicks, Mastercam simplifies the creation of even the most complex parts.

Easy 2D and 3D geometry creation with complete wireframe & surface modeling.
Associative dimensions update as you change your model.
Extensive editing tools.
Built-in data translators for IGES, Parasolid®, SAT (ACIS solids), AutoCAD® (DXF, DWG, and Inventor TM files), SolidWorks®, Solid Edge®, STEP, EPS, CADL, STL, VDA, and ASCII. Direct translators for CATIA®, Pro/E®, and more are also available.
Special no-charge Mastercam Direct add-ons put Mastercam in your SolidWorks, Solid Edge, or AutoCAD Inventor toolbars.

Designed for Ease

Fully associative geometry and toolpaths let you modify the geometry, tooling information or machining parameters and immediately get an accurate, updated toolpath.
Mastercam's "Quick Toolpaths" let you program parts completely with just a few simple clicks.
Mastercam's Operations Manager gives you a single place to create, modify and analyze all aspects of your toolpaths.
Store a library of commonly used operations to automate machining. For example, you can rough and finish a new part simply by importing one stored set of operations and applying them to a new model.

Define Your Shop

Mastercam X delivers a new way to make sure that your parts are done right the first time – Machine and Control Definition. Define features and characteristics for all the machines in your shop to simplify programming and streamline machine changes.

Powerful Lathe Programming

Click and drag a machining start point to anywhere on your model.
Intelligent roughing of inside and outside diameters, including roughing to a boundary for castings.
Finish contouring (profiling).
Set a CSS feed rate for the desired finish quality.
Groove at any angle with multiple depth cuts and pecking.
Easily define groove depth, width, wall angles, corner radius and chamfer.
Complete threading with multiple starts, diameter calculation and thread tables.
Boring, drilling and point-to-point machining.
Automatic gouge checking watches the front and back of the insert.
Chuck, part, steady rest, and tailstock detection.
Open and directly machine a solid model.
Cut across the centerline of the part using a stock boundary.
New tool angle control streamlines advanced Multi Task machine programming, allowing on-the-fly changes to the B-axis tooling arm angle.

C-axis (Mill/Turn) Programming

Full C-axis milling when combined with any Mastercam X Mill package.
Face and Cross contour.
Face and Cross drill including the ability to sort points in a clockwise or counterclockwise sweep (rotary) direction.
Machine C-axis contours with three-dimensional or flat geometry.

Extensive Libraries

Comprehensive insert libraries including updated Kenametal®, Iscar, Valenite®, and Sandvik, as well as a new Sandvik Swiss Tool Library.

Dependable NC Verification

Quickly check toolpaths as they are created with a cross-section of the part in progress.
View or save a 3D model of your part at any machining stage.
View or verify your part being cut with Mastercam's backplot or solid toolpath verification.
