This tutorial example involves designing and creating a toolpath for machining a customized name plate on a 3 in. This example should help you become more familiar with Pro/MFG, Mastercam and/or CAMWorks. Machining the block using CAMWorks is discussed in Tutorial S4.4.5. Since some information about this example has been discussed in Section 11.3 using Pro/MFG, we will focus more on Mastercam. Three CAM software, Pro/MFG, Mastercam, and CAMWorks are employed for this example. Once you are more familiar with one of these two software tools, you may move to the second tutorial example-block with a sculpture surface-in which both rough and finish cuts are required. In addition, after going through this simple example, you should see the major differences between the two software tools, and hopefully be able to identify a few pros and cons of each. This name plate example involves profile and volume millings and is presented so that you may learn to use Pro/MFG and/or Mastercam in projects P4 and M4, respectively.
