Mastercam is in the Cloud

CNC Software Inc., developers of Mastercam CAD/CAM software, has partnered withMachining Cloud GmbHto provide Mastercam users direct access to the cutting tool product data available on the cloud. The idea is to reduce the frustration and time associated with obtaining the tooling information needed for their programming, simulation and other shopfloor activities.

Machining Cloud's mission is to provide the manufacturing community a single source of access to complete and up-to-date product data from the leading manufacturers of cutting tools, machine tools and workholding. Through the Machining Cloud tablet and desktop apps, Mastercam users will have access to a rich set of software features, including cutting tool selector, configurator and advisor. Upon completion of the interface, the cutting tool manufacturers’ descriptive, usage and geometric information, and application knowledge will be readily available for users to directly apply to their Mastercam system.
