Features
Machine Simulation
Detect collisions between your stock, tool, and machine components before sending code to your machine tool. Machine Simulation is a safe way to prove out 3-axis, 4-axis, or 5-axis Router toolpaths to make clean, efficient, and accurate programs.
Nesting options
Standard nesting delivers a fast, efficient, and easily identifiable way of nesting. Advanced nesting gives you a variety of additional tools, including TrueShape nesting and nesting in scrap material.
CNC Engraving
You can create signs, artistic carvings, molds, and more.
Dynamic Motion™
Extend tool life with proprietary toolpath strategies that maximize material removal rate and reduce cycle times.
Control
Easily regulate tabs, webs, and cutting specifics for efficient flat panel cutting.
ATP
Links you to a variety of top design software to read in entire projects and have them program automatically using presets that you choose.
Feature Based Machining
Evaluates a part’s features and automatically designs an effective machining strategy.
Solids Disassembly
Automatically take apart your assemblies and move the components to different levels based on part thickness.
Speed
From direct editing of your solid models to advanced free form surfacing capabilities in Model Prep, Mastercam takes you from an idea to a completed part faster and more efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions
CNC router software is used to create toolpaths through G-code to operate computer numerical control (CNC) routers. This allows for machine automation, where the machine cuts a part to the specifications of the input code.
There are many similarities, but a router generally refers to a gantry-style machine with a stationary table, where a mill may have a moving table and a tool held in a Z-axis spindle.
Routers have traditionally focused on cutting softer material such as wood or plastic, but modern routers include the precision and power needed to cut some metals accurately and safely.
Computer numerical control (CNC) routers are complex machines capable of extraordinarily precise manufacturing. Router software, like Mastercam, is needed to program these scientific instruments accurately, in order to maximize cycle times, extend tool life, and minimize the wear and tear on the router itself.
Router software improves productivity by saving time, reducing errors, and improving both precision and productivity in the manufacturing process. Programming a router by hand is a painstaking process, with a human margin of error built into every step of the process. Router software, like Mastercam, makes preparing parts and programming the machine a much more efficient and accurate process.
