mastercam 2021 simulation machine model

[Wayne Callaghan]

Any source for pocket NC model for simulation in mastercam 2021?

Hi Wayne, 

We just added the 2021 Mastercam simulation files to our website. You should be able to access them here - https://pocketnc.com/pages/mastercam-information

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply but no joy, I have a V2-10 machine, the simulation is not included in mastercam 2021, and the files downloaded from site are not compatible with the mastercam simulator, files are not recognized.

Hi Wayne, 

Thanks for letting us know. I have reached out to Mastercam so I will update you as soon as I know more. 

Thanks,

Hi Wayne, 

We got the correct files from Mastercam and they are now on our website in the same spot as before. Let me know if they do not work or if there is anything else I can help with. 

Thanks!

Thanks, definitely making some head way, model is V1 version though, and i have not figured out toolpathing and g code output , I have set up file with Correct z axis, but g code and simulation do not move rotary axis to bring model to correct position and g code doesn't show A axis move command to bring spindle Z axis, although the stock and model have been placed as if the rotation has occured and the toolpath subsequently is right, any ideas?

Hi Wayne, 

That is odd, I will reach back out Mastercam to find out why the model is of the V1, not the V2. 

Unfortunately, I cannot help much with the toolpathing and gcode generation as we do not use Mastercam here, so none of our team is very familiar with how to program in it.

Thanks!

Hi Wayne, 

Quick update - I reached out to Mastercam again and they are working on getting me a V2 simulation file. They have a big event going on this week so they are pretty tied up and may not be able to provide me with the file until next week, just so you know. 

Thanks,
