Cut Out Flat Parts with Tabs using Contour Toolpath in Mastercam

This tutorial demonstrates the process of cutting out a part profile from a sheet using tabs to hold the part in place. We start by converting the part profile into a wireframe silhouette and then add manual tabs by placing square points along the contour, which will determine the tab positions. The process involves using the 'Point Dynamic' function for precise placement of these points. After setting these up, the tutorial covers setting up a contour toolpath, selecting an appropriate tool size, adjusting cut parameters, and configuring manual tabs with specific dimensions and conditions. The final step involves saving the toolpath configurations for the project.
