Basic CNC Milling Lathe Programming CNC Engraving Milling DXF File Wire EDM Free CAD Drawing Design Templates Running Machine New PartMaster 11 Released! Dolphin PartMaster is easy but powerful machine programming software for CNC mill, lathe or wire EDM machining on Microsoft Windows. PartMaster is flexible enough for jobs ranging from simple contouring to complex area clearance, engraving & Z profiling (for milling) and shape merging and is ideal for a broad range of metal plastic or wood stocks, CNC lathe turning, flame and laser cutting (no nesting). Flexible CNC post processor support includes controllers including Cincinnati, Fagor, Fanuc, Hass, Mach 2 & Mach 3, Bridgeport, Okuma, Bosch, Proto-Trak, Charmilles, Siemens, TurboCNC, Japax and more. It can also calculate cycle time for help in quotations, create tooling lists and setup sheets. ISO NC G-code, M-code, contour programming and canned (LAP) cycles can all be quickly drawn from scratch or from legacy AutoCAD DXF files. CADDIT also offers an exclusive progeCAM design bundle for AutoCAD users! "I have tried a few of the low-cost CAD/CAM solutions, and have to admit to liking this one the best."

     Technical Features for Dolphin PartMaster CAD/CAM:

• Standard design tools.

• Contouring Advanced Ramping - Angled, Zigzag, Arc, Approach moves, 1st span and whole contour. Partial machining to avoid clamps etc. Combine multiple contours, Angled wall machining, Z profiling, Set plunge position.

• Area Clear

• Pre-drilling, Angled ramping, Zigzag ramping,

• Spiral ramping, Set plunge position, Angled wall machining.

• Shape Merge

• Define two separate contours at differing Z depths and create a ruled surface between them, constant Z level or full 3 axis machining.

• Z Profiling

• Single Slot, Ruled surfaces - Extrusion and Rotation, Surface of revolution and surface patch between 2 profiles.

• Chamfering

• Automatically produces single or multiple cuts depending on tool size.

• Thread Milling - For internal and external threads using single and multi-point tools

• Digitising

• Free hand milling and drilling - ideal for backing off extrusion dies

• Macros

• Create custom Visual Basic Scripts (VBS) to automate repetitive work and produce family of parts.

• Tooling Database - Create multiple tooling databases and machine tool setups.

• Tooling - Turn, Bore, Groove, Trepan, Button, Partoff, Threading and Drills.

• Facing - Simply choose the start and end points for the Facing operation from the screen, set the cut-depth and the operation is complete. Fast and effective, includes the option to cut past the centre line to eliminate pips.

• Turning - Roughing the part couldn't be simpler, set the maximum and minimum Z & X coordinates, the system won’t encroach onto the workpiece. set the Z and X finishing allowances and choose to keep out of “undercuts” if required.

• Profiling - Advanced Profiling with full G41/G42 tool nose radius compensation, differential finishing in Z & X. Approach and Runoff settings. Partial machining. Forward and Reverse, Internal and External.

• Grooving - Machine regular Grooves with Lip and Root details, or use a Grooving tool on ANY shape !

• Advanced Roughing - Roughing from a Billet or from ANY shaped Casting or Forging. Superb toolpath optimization.

• Threading - For internal and external threads, single or multi start threads - options for Feed Angle, Runoff and Acme type threads.

• Post-Processing & Canned Cycles  - PartMaster Turning will output your controllers Canned Cycles such as G71, G72 for Roughing, G76 for Threading, G75 for Grooving etc. A comprehensive range of Post- Processors are supplied as standard.
