Bmp2Mc

Bmp2Mc is a useful add-in for Mastercam v8 and v9 which reads the files in bitmap format (BMP grayscale) and converts into 3d toolpath.

Here are some key features of "Bmp2Mc":

￭ Bmp2Mc is an Add-ins for Mastercam v8 and v9 that reads the files in bitmap format (BMP grayscale) and converts into 3d toolpath. ￭ Grayscale is quantified to adjust Z-axis depth, different tool overlaps, depths and tool radius are permitted. ￭ Final sizes of X-Y output can be scaled and stored in Operations-manager of Mastercam. ￭ Bmp2Mc uses the different layers or shades to produce the depth of cut or Z-axis, as well as scaling the X-Y coordinates to the desired carving size. ￭ Bmp2Mc manages flat, spherical and conical tools. The operation created in Mastercam could be simulated, verified and processed. ￭ Bmp2Mc also create an .STL file for use as model in advanced 3d toolpath, for verify or for use in other CAD/CAM applications.

Requirements:

￭ Mastercam version 8.1 or 9 in order to work properly

Limitations:

￭ the toolpath is not added in Operation-Manager
