 Fast, efficient bulk material removal is essential to efficient NC programming. Mastercam gives you a variety of techniques to rough machine all of your parts.
- Rough cut multiple surfaces, solid models, STL files, or any combination of the three.
- Rough cut with constant-Z contours or pockets.
- Rough cut by descending parallel or radial cuts, with complete control over plunging with positive and negative-Z motion.
- Custom plunge roughing lets you rough straight from the top (with no XY motion) in any user-defined cut pattern.
- Constant-Z rough restmill (remachining) identifies and machines areas that need to be roughed with a smaller tool.
- Automatic facing and critical depth recognition ensures flat surfaces that lie between Z-cuts won't be left with too much stock during rough machining.
- Automatically align all your roughing plunge points, making it easier to pre-drill those spots for production machining.

| Versatile Finishing
 Mastercam’s suite of 3D finishing tools lets you choose the best method for the results you need.
- Finish multiple surfaces, solid models, STL files, or any combination of the three.
- Unlimited Pencil Finishing machines the part in logical segments.
- Parallel finishing delivers robust toolpaths for a wide variety of projects.
- 3D project machining creates a consistent, smooth finish while following the natural curves of multiple surfaces or solids, and even includes a quick option for faster processing where appropriate.
- Constant scallop machining maintains a consistent finish on sloped and flat surfaces alike by using a consistent 3D stepover.
- Radial finishing creates toolpaths radiating outward from a selected point, perfect for round parts.
- Flowline machining cuts single or multiple surfaces using their natural shape to define the cutter path, delivering a smoother finish.
- Ruled toolpaths include automatic synchronization by entity, branch, or node. Cutting options are constant Z, zigzag, circular, one way, or 5-axis swarf machining.
- Full check surface support.
- Cut leaving negative stock, even with flat cutters.

| Clean-up Machining
Leftover material causes extra handwork and costs time. Mastercam automates leftover material identification and removal, providing you with finer finishes.
- Run cleanup cycles on multiple surfaces, solid models, STL files, or any combination of the three.
- Hybrid leftover machining changes the cut method as the slope of the model changes – in a single toolpath.
- Constant Z rest milling (remachining) identifies and machines areas that need to be cut with a smaller tool, including automatically detected critical depths.
- Pencil tracing walks a tool along the intersection of surfaces to clean out hard-to-reach areas. You can perform single or multiple passes for precision cleanup.
- Steep/Shallow machining cuts only those regions of selected surfaces that have slopes between two specified angles.
