Mastercam interfaces
Highlights at a glance
- Maximum flexibility: extensive standard interfaces for all common CAD formats
- Expandable through optional interfaces: e.g. for UG/NX, Creo or CATIA
- Reliable data transfer: exact geometry without conversion losses
- Seamless integration: smooth data exchange with design, CAM and production
- High efficiency: less manual rework and faster programming
Flexible data exchange for any CAD/CAM environment
With the Mastercam interfaces, you can reliably import and export design data from almost all CAD systems. This allows you to integrate Mastercam seamlessly into existing development and production processes – for fast workflows from design to NC programming.
