There are companies out there that are good at certain things and others that shine and others that just limp by. Unless that where to happen I am thinking more and more that MMT is probably becoming more and more a drain on resources to the point where do they draw the line as a business? Look we are working for someone and if that company keep putting money in a project that just never went anywhere even though you put your heart and soul into it would be stopped at some point no matter how much it was needed.

I am not saying there is nothing going on and CNC could come out tomorrow with a full blown MMT application. I just wonder how much time and money has been spent on MMT and there is still nothing to show us the user for it. I think it is a mistake, but also see it from a business standpoint as well. MMT is still not out and if we seen something in 2 years I would be very surprised. FBM is a clear indication the play is safe direction Mastercam is headed. It is safe and requires less investment, resources and is more predictable a method in which to go in. I really see 2 axis Lathe, Router, and 3 to 5 axis milling becoming the family of products Mastercam moves solely to in the future.

Can I get the job done yes However when you can not harness the power of a machine using software that keeps making the claim that they are the best then where does the line get drawn? The advancement of machine tools is outpacing support and the ability to program more complex machines is being embarrassed by Mastercam's competition at a rate that I do not see Mastercam be able to obtain to unless something very major happens soon. Look we all know Mastercam is the leader when it comes to seats sold, but when it comes to Mill/Turn machining they are coming in last place in my book. Nothing really I think it more of a lack of a standard toolpaths that could really separate Mastercam from the rest of the pack when it comes to CAM software. If you are going to do alot of parts like this give us a call and we'll get the function put into your post. If your just doing one part like this the above options are adequate.

Use vector lines to get angles and edit nc code with tilts. If you do not have curve5ax then make tool path. (Make sure your using tcp in control or you need to offset groove geo to center of rotation) Post the code and edit to turn instead of mill. (Maybe break the contour to control better twhere the changes happen) If you have curve 5ax (mill path) then use it.Д¬reate vector lines representonting the angles you want coming off the groove contour. I have done posts for 5ax grinders that change the angle of the wheel has it moves along contour, same concept.

Its not going to happen without a very custom post. Since you are using a lathe tool and 'turning' the groove its pretty neat, but hang with me.
