Mastercam Wire
Associative CAD/CAM for wire EDM. Builds on Mastercam Design functionality, plus:
• Advanced tapering in both 2-axis and 4-axis wirepath creation
• Advanced synchronization capabilities
• Efficient lead-ins and lead-outs
• Automatic corner filleting and skim cut definition
• Efficient tab creation and management
• Wirepath filtering significantly reduces program size

Powerful EDM Programming

Fast 2-axis contouring

Powerful 4-axis contouring with automatic reverse and skim cuts

Mastercam’s suite of 2-axis and 4-axis wirepaths lets you choose the best method for the results you need. With Mastercam, you have complete control over the wire motion, angle, entries and exits, and much more. And you get that control in a clear, easy to understand way.

• 2-axis contour, with or without taper angle.
• No-core cutting.
• 4-axis synchronization with automatic or manual input and automatic skim and reverse cuts.
• 4-axis surface finish by chordal deviation.
• 4-axis interpolation support (G2/G3).
• Graphical programming with options for straight cut, tapered cut, or tapered cut with land from either direction.
• Automatic lead-in and lead-out strategies.
• Contour multiple parts using a single window selection.
• Automatic maximum taper/UV travel detection.
• Special Sharp Corner option creates an outside loop to ensure corners are not rounded off.
• Automatic wirepath corner filleting.
• Translate wirepaths for easy part repetition without creating new geometry.
• Modify control settings, corner types, and taper angles at any point in a contour.
• Define separate lead-ins and lead-outs for wirepaths with trimming of leads to improve efficiency.
• Apply tapers before or after a vertical wirepath.
• Click and dynamically drag a machining start point to anywhere on your model.
• Wirepath filtering significantly reduces the size of a program. The filter automatically turns small, multiple linear moves into single line or arc moves.

Streamline your multiple-cut jobs

Mastercam simplifies 2- and 4-axis nested programming

Efficient Tab Creation

Tab control makes it easy to cut multiple parts with complete control over when the tab is cut.

The right tabs can be crucial on any job, whether simple or complex. Mastercam delivers fast, easy, and complete control over your tab creation.

• Quickly add multiple tabs to any piece of geometry.
• Automatic tabs with user-definable stop types.
• No Drop Out tab option helps avoid slivers.
• Tab cutoff passes can be run after each part, or after all parts are done.
• Easily create tabs on open contours.
