WHAT IS

DYNAMIC MOTION?Dynamic Motion is more c toolpaths calculate more than just the simple motion

of the tool. They also use a proprietary set of rules to analyze tool

engagement and the material removal, constantly changing the

cut motion based on the stock at that moment. The results include

radically shorter cycle times, longer tool life, and maximum material

removal rates.

Dynamic Motion is c Motion toolpaths maximize safe engagement and can

reduce cycle times by 25 to 75 percent. Dynamic Motion toolpaths

can use full-depth cutting, meaning far fewer step downs. And this

means you can cut more parts in less c Motion extends the

life of tools and c Motion produces a consistent chip load, reducing

vibration and pulling heat away from the part and tool, and into the

chip where it belongs. It’s better for your tools, your finished parts,

and reduces wear on your c Motion makes easy work of

cutting hard ng difficult materials can pose a challenge for many shops.

Mastercam’s Dynamic Motion toolpaths make it significantly easier

by ensuring an even chip load throughout the cut. This distributes

heat more efficiently, prevents material surface hardening,

and reduces the risk of tool breakage, giving you more

consistent, predictable results every time.2

MASTERCAM’S DYNAMIC MOTION

efficient cut. Mastercam’s Dynamic
