Introduction

This example will help you create a simple 3 axis machining project in RoboDK using the Mastercam plugin. In this example a Motoman robot with a cutting tool is simulated and programmed to machine a simple mold using the robot as a 3-axis machine. You will learn how to transform a CNC program into a robot simulation and a robot program.

With the RoboDK plug-in for Mastercam you can quickly set up robot machining projects directly from Mastercam to RoboDK. This plug-in allows you to program over 1,000 robot models from more than 80 manufacturers directly from Mastercam.

The RoboDK plug-in for Mastercam supports NCI (native preprocessed Mastercam files) and standard APT CLS and G-code files. The plug-in is free if you have purchased a RoboDK license.
