CNC Software LLC, developers of Mastercam, has collaborated with Kennametal, a global provider of metal cutting tools and solutions, to provide customers with the ability to access tooling data for Kennametal brand drills and solid carbide end mills directly in the Mastercam cutting tool library on its Tech Exchange.
Mastercam developers worked closely with Kennametal to enable users to import data on its cutting tools, including GoDrill and Kenna Universal solid carbide drills, as well as a selection of end mills directly into Mastercam. The integration enables Mastercam customers to save time searching for cutting tools and building tool assemblies.
“We are excited to offer these high-performance drills and end mills from Kennametal in a native Mastercam [cutting] tool library format and make it available to our user base of over 300,000,” says Stas Mylek, partnership program manager, CNC Software LLC. “The collaborative effort between both companies provides Mastercam users easy and integrated access to the latest cutting tools from Kennametal.”
Mastercam users can download the cutting tool libraries from the Mastercam Tech Exchange portal on their website. The native Mastercam tool database is fully compatible with Mastercam 2022 and the latest Mastercam 2023 release.
“The integration of our tooling data within Mastercam’s library digitizes Kennametal innovation and productivity, making it easier for customers to identify tooling requirements, build machining strategies and ultimately purchase our tools,” says Eddie McBarnet, vice president of marketing for Kennametal. “Our digital tooling data, in combination with the powerful Mastercam software, will enable hundreds of thousands of customers to quickly find solutions to their toughest machining challenges and be more productive and efficient using Kennametal tooling.”
