The options and parameters selected are intended to get you started on the path toward learning and exploring all of the features Mastercam has to offer. The objective is to provide a general overview of a handful of the toolpath options available to you. The Basic 3D Machining tutorial focuses on applying several milling toolpaths to parts previously designed in the Basic 3D Design video tutorial.

Using construction lines as reference geometry.

Defining custom views using 3D Dynamic Planes.

Creating 3D geometry from 2D parts using translation and offsetting.

Using construction planes in a 3D environment.

This video tutorial covers the following tasks: Before attempting this 3D tutorial, you must be familiar with the 2D techniques demonstrated in the 2D tutorial. The Basic 3D Design video tutorial covers 3D drawing with Mastercam. You can download Adobe Flash Player from Basic 3D Design Video Tutorial
