Mill, Level 1-Includes Mill Entry, plus surface creation, many additional toolpaths (for all construction and tool planes), highfeed machining, toolpath editor, toolpath transforms, stock definition.

Mill Entry-Includes Design, plus various toolpaths (top construction and tool planes only), posting, backplot, verify.

Design-3D wireframe geometry creation, dimensioning, importing and exporting of non-Mastercam CAD files (such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Solid Edge, Inventor, Parasolid, etc.).

The following list describes the Mastercam product levels:

Mastercam supports many types of machines, each with a choice of levels of functionality, as well as offers optional add-ins for solid modeling, 4-axis machining, and 5-axis machining. Mastercam X2 provided many enhancements over the previous version. It also represented a fundamental shift in the way the application was configured. With the release of Mastercam X (10), the application became a true Windows-based application, as opposed to one ported over from DOS. MastercamвЂ™s name is a double entendre: it implies mastery of CAM ( computer-aided manufacturing), which involves todayвЂ™s latest machine tool control technology and it simultaneously pays homage to yesterdayвЂ™s machine tool control technology by echoing the older term master cam, which referred to the main cam or model that a tracer followed in order to control the movements of a mechanically automated machine tool.

Mastercam also offers a level of flexibility that allows the integration of 3rd party applications, called C-hooks, to address unique machine or process specific scenarios. Mastercam users can create and cut parts using one of many supplied machine and control definitions, or they can use MastercamвЂ™s advanced tools to create their own customized definitions. MastercamвЂ™s comprehensive set of predefined toolpaths-including contour, drill, pocketing, face, peel mill, engraving, surface high speed, advanced multiaxis, and many more-enable machinists to cut parts efficiently and accurately. Since then, Mastercam has grown into the most widely used CAD/CAM package in the world. Mastercam, CNC SoftwareвЂ™s main product, started as a 2D CAM system with CAD tools that let machinists design virtual parts on a computer screen and also guided computer numerical controlled (CNC) machine tools in the manufacture of parts.
