Nice video. I have one question though. I have imported a STL model from a 3d scan and i can't use the mesh as the machining geometry. Mastercam wont let me select the model. What am i doing wrong? Am i supposed to convert the mesh into a solid or surface?
You will be able to select the STL as a drive surface when using Guide or Automatic as a cut pattern. If wanting to use another cut pattern create a simplified surface in the area you would like to machine and use the STL/Mesh as an avoidance as in a Clean Core technique. I hope that helps!!
Creating the geometry would require a different tool. Depending on the type of geometry it may need to be CAD software, free-form modeling, or a scan import from a scanner.
The model was imported from another program, it was not generated inside Mastercam. If this is the result of a scan from an existing sculpture, you can get an idea of how that is done here: ruclips.net/video/DpANiDXakt8/видео.html
Can you elaborate on what you need? If you already have the controller you should be able to copy it to your directories like this article: www.mlc-cad.com/easy-guide-install-mastercam-post-processor/
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!

Hello sir u have explained beautifully for solid works API vedio can u make similar vedio for solid edge API
I'm sorry, but we only support SOLIDWORKS products for CAD. Good luck in your search.
Sir how to make that solid idol

@@MLCCADSystems can you please tell me how in mastercam

How to install another controller in Mastercam please
