Connecticut-based CNC Software, Inc., developers of Mastercam, in partnership with Sandvik Coromant, a global supplier of tools for the metalworking industry (stainless steel, steel and aluminium), announces the integration of Sandvik Coromant CoroPlus ToolLibrary into the new release of Mastercam 2018. The integration of the CoroPlus ToolLibrary aims to allow Mastercam customers to save significant time searching for desired tools and building 3D tool assemblies that can be brought directly into Mastercam via the ISO 13399 data format.
Mastercam developers worked closely with Sandvik Coromant product management to let users import 3D tool assemblies directly into Mastercams toolpath operations. Users of Mastercam benefit from having the correct tooling for the material and for the type of machining operation, plus an accurate, 3D model that can be used for visualization and collision checking in addition to the time savings.
