Mastercam has collaborated with Sandvik Coromant for the integration of Sandvik Coromant’s CoroPlus Tool Library Add-in into the release of Mastercam 2024 CAD/CAM software. The integration of the CoroPlus Tool Library enables Mastercam customers to save significant time searching for desired tools and building 3D tool assemblies that can be brought directly into Mastercam.
The CoroPlus Tool Library makes tool recommendations based on material, operation and tool type. The ability to import tool assemblies directly into Mastercam 2024 saves time and effort because users can quickly and easily find and use the right tools. By utilizing 3D tool models and recommended cutting data, users can also optimize the machining process and achieve better results.
Mastercam developers worked closely with Sandvik Coromant product management to enable users to import 3D tool assemblies directly into Mastercam’s toolpath operations. In addition to the time savings, users of Mastercam benefit from having the correct tooling for the material and type of machining operation, as well as an accurate 3D model that can be used for visualization and collision checking.
“In the past, customers had to search through thousands of catalog pages and cross-reference multiple sources to create the tool assemblies needed to machine their parts,” says Dave Boucher, Mastercam chief product officer. “Now, they have access to cutting data and tooling recommendations directly from within Mastercam, making it easier for them to select the best cutting tools for their specific applications, optimize their machining operations and improve productivity.”
