New Mastercam Mill and Wire CAD/CAM releases from CNC Software showcased at
Autofact '95

August 25, 1995 -- TOLLAND, CT--CNC Software, Inc, will showcase Mastercam
Version 5.5 in Booth #565 at Autofact '95 at McCormick Place, Chicago, IL,
November 14-16. Known for its power and simplicity, Mastercam is
Windows-based CAD/CAM software for 2- through 5-axis milling, turning, 2-
and 4-axis wire EDM, 3-D design, drafting and surface modeling.

The newly released Mastercam Mill Version 5.5 now includes time-saving 2
1/2-axis associative machining functions, new multi-surface machining
routines and an additional NC Verification option. These features have
been added at no extra charge.

CNC Software's 2 1/2-axis associative machining package, Production Pro, is
now included standard with Mastercam Mill. Previously sold as a separate
package, Production Pro is designed to streamline and automate basic
machining operations such as drilling, boring, and basic pocketing. The
user selects the location and type of operation, and the software
automatically creates geometry, optimized toolpaths, dimensions,
operations sheets and a tool list. This allows complete association
between similar components and operations. Changes made to any item will
automatically be made in all associated items, saving programming time.

Mastercam Mill Version 5.5 also includes new multi-surface finishing and
roughing. Multi-surface toolpaths are now generated up to 5 times faster,
and roughing now offers visual processing and user-definable containment
boundaries.

Mastercam Mill's toolpath verification now has the ability to show the tool
move across the part as it removes material. All basic and advanced tool
shapes are supported, giving a realistic representation of the milling
process and finished part. This helps reduce dry runs and test cutting.

The new Mastercam Wire 5.5 will also be highlighted at the show. Mastercam
Wire offers a fast, efficient CAD front-end, 2-and 4-axis automatic sync
points, 2-and 4-axis pocketing with or without taper, automatic skim cuts
and tab/glue stop creation, and much more.

This new version simplifies part design and programming with features such
as automatic correction for maximum taper and UV travel, surface creation
and surface-to-surface intersections, and complete drafting features
including 3D dimensioning.

Mastercam provides built-in bi-directional translators including IGES, VDA,
DXF, CADL, STL and more. Over 500 custom and user-definable post
processors are also available.
