up2parts autoCAM for Mastercam
up2parts autoCAM for Mastercam is an AI-based solution designed to automate and speed up CAM programming by leveraging your company's own production data, geometry, and tolerance information. This solution is built to complement your existing Mastercam environment and enhance programming efficiency without relying on heavy macro or rule-based systems.
In many machine shops, CAM programming is still time-consuming and largely dependent on experienced programmers. Repetitive tasks, manual selections, and inconsistent programming practices strain resources and slow down production cycles. up2parts autoCAM addresses these challenges by bringing AI-assisted automation directly into Mastercam—enabling programming up to 70% faster.
Automation for Your Existing CAM Environment
up2parts autoCAM doesn't replace Mastercam or alter your current CAM infrastructure—it operates as a fully integrated add-on. The solution generates CAM program suggestions in just a few minutes and sends them straight to Mastercam, where NC code generation continues as usual through the post-processor.
The result is a significantly shorter programming time, less manual work, and a more cost-effective CAM process—all without compromising on quality or control.
How up2parts autoCAM Works in Mastercam
- Open the up2parts autoCAM add-on in Mastercam and select a part
Create CAM projects directly within the familiar Mastercam environment. - Automatic operation and tool suggestions
up2parts analyzes the part's geometry, tolerance information, and your company's unique manufacturing strategies to generate suggestions for operations, tools, cutting parameters, and settings within seconds. - Refinement, simulation, and NC code generation
The user can edit suggestions, run simulations, and generate NC code as usual with Mastercam's post-processor.
All user changes are fed back into up2parts, allowing the AI to learn and adapt even better to your company's machining strategies.
AI Suggests—Programmer Decides
up2parts autoCAM is powered by artificial intelligence, generating CAM program suggestions without traditional macro or rule-based logic. The system automatically suggests:
- Machining operations
- Tools
- Settings
- Cutting parameters
Consistent programming practices reduce the burden on experienced CAM programmers and make onboarding new users easier. Automation supports expertise—it doesn't replace it.
Tolerances and PMI As Part of CAM Programming
up2parts autoCAM utilizes tolerance information (PMI) in creating CAM programs. If STEP AP242 models aren't available, tolerances can be added manually in up2parts.
The CAD model can include, for example:
- Surface roughness
- Threads
- Fits
- Dimensional and shape tolerances
Tolerances can also be read from PDF drawings and stored structurally with the part. This enables automatic creation of multiple operations according to tolerance requirements and improves program approval in real-world production.
Tools and Production Data on Your Terms
Tool data can be imported into up2parts in several ways:
- CSV or XML import
- ToolsUnited integration
The system leverages your company's own machinery, tools, and manufacturing strategies. This means CAM suggestions aren't based on generic assumptions, but on real production conditions.
What Doesn't up2parts autoCAM Do?
up2parts autoCAM does not independently generate NC code. Toolpaths and NC code are always created through Mastercam and the post-processor you use. This ensures full control, safety, and compatibility with your existing production processes.
Key Benefits of up2parts autoCAM for Mastercam
- CAM programming up to 70% faster
- Less manual and repetitive work
- Consistent programming practices
- Better tolerance consideration
- Full integration with Mastercam
- AI that learns from your company's own solutions
