3D SHAPE MACHINING

Finishing strategies: Parallel Plane, Contour, Helical, Constant Crete, Spiral, Corner Re-machining, etc.
Specific strategies for optimizing 3d for short production runs, i.e. Blend Radii machining
For all your Mazak mills, Variaxis Integrex, etc.
For any other CNC machine also
3d Machining using the rotary C axis specially adapted for the older Integrex machines with limited XY travel (640MT, 640MtPro, Matrix IV)
Specific 2.5D / 3D strategies to get the most out of your older machines-

TROCHOIDAL ROUGHING

Adaptive roughing optimized for CORE or CAVITY
Trochoid Milling
Automatic Re-Roughing
3d Stock model to eliminate air cutting
You can also rough out in Mazatrol ®, for many good reasons
Speed up programming on complex prismatic (2D) parts too

3D CHAMFERING

Program a chamfer on a 3d contour with a chamfer cutter
Even if there is no chamfer on the CAD model
Can be used in 3, 4 or 5 axis mode
Great for quick deburring

The 3d programs are generated in Mazatrol®, or as a Mazatrol® master program with Iso/EIA sub programs. This allows you to continue to operate your machine in Mazatrol, for ease of use and security. You don’t need to re-train operators and setters to set up and run your Mazak in Iso/EIA mode.
