It simply uses the tools you have now, but in a much more efficient way,' says Gary Hargreaves, VP, Business Development. 'The beauty of OptiRest is that you don't need any special tooling to use it. Mastercams new Dynamic Mill gives you the ability to utilize the entire flute length of the cutting tool while maintaining more consistent cutting conditions. This highly efficient bi-directional cutting strategy removes the maximum amount of material with the minimum of step downs, significantly reducing cycle times. This video explores Solid Chaining in Mastercams 2D Highspeed Toolpaths. This is taken from our online Highspeed Toolpath course which covers all aspects of the 2D Highspeed Toolpaths. This is video three of five on chaining in Mastercams Highspeed Dynamic Toolpaths. A single toolpath can cut material in two directions: on step downs (-Z) and step ups (+Z). Mastercam Dynamic Milling - Chaining Part 3.

It uses an aggressive, fast, intelligent roughing algorithm based on Mastercam's 2D high speed dynamic milling motion.

The toolpath supports cutters capable of machining very large depths of cut. The result is precise, efficient motion that is easier on your tooling and your machine. This powerful new toolpath compares the in-process stock model to the intended shape to create an optimized dynamic milling cleanup pass. It performs rest rough milling operations to remove stock left from roughing passes with large cutters. OptiRest is the latest 3D high-speed toolpath from Mastercam.
