Introduction

Welcome to the Pre-IMTS edition of the CCCS Digital Newsletter! Below you’ll find what’s new in our corner of the world and what you can expect to see if you’re traveling to IMTS in September.

Our very own Rob Dusenbury and Frank Gonzalez will be reppin’ SoCal at the show the entire week, with the Mastercam booth serving as their home base. Make sure you strap on your comfy shoes and if you want to schedule some time with them while you’re at the show, email us at marketing@cad-cam.com.

CIMCO | IMTS Booth #133217

The CIMCO Americas team will be at IMTS this year, where they’ll showcase the latest version of the software suite, which includes enhancements to the simulation kernel for even higher precision and 3D tooling support, the new NC-Base Web Client, Cycle Builder, and Mill-Turn support for Probing. CIMCO products integrate seamlessly into Mastercam and can save your shop time and money. 

Learn more about CIMCO on our additional products page.

CloudNC CAM Assist

CloudNC’s CAM Assist is an AI tool that generates professional machining strategies in seconds and has just debuted the Mastercam Add-On with the release of 2025! With the ability to save a shop over 1,000 hours of programming time a year, CAM Assist is perfect to program a part in Mastercam and then let you tweak the program to your specifications.

They’ll have numerous technologies on display, including the Shop and Studio Systems, InnoventX, Figure G15, their all new PureSinter Furnace, and more. If you’re interested in the world of additive metal printing, DM has a machine to match your needs. Find out more at our product page and be sure to schedule a consultation with our in-house additive expert.

Mastercam | IMTS Booth #133222

As always, Mastercam is bringing a lot to the table at IMTS. Mastercam 2025 was released in July, and with it come a slew of new enhancements.

  • Mastercam Deburr: This is a new Add-On toolpath that simplifies the deburring process through automatic edge detection and intuitive controls. While this is already a Multiaxis feature, you can now use this in a 3-axis environment. 
  • A/Y-Axis Turning in Mill-Turn: Support for Y-axis turning will be introduced with Mastercam 2025 for all turning toolpaths except for custom thread and B-axis contour turning.
  • Finishing Passes for Dynamic Mill and Area Mill: Users can now add high speed finishing passes along the selected boundaries of the toolpath. You can further define the path with other parameters on the Finish Passes page as well, like feed rate and spindle speed overrides. Use the stock-to-leave options to ensure there is material for the finish passes, and the Lead In/Out page allows you to set specific lead in and out options for finish passes only. 
  • And much more.

On Tuesday, September 10 you’ll be able to meet Dean Zelinsky, who used Mastercam to create the world’s first titanium hollow body guitar. 

Also, did you know you can find the 2025 Mastercam download, important 2025 documentation, and our Mastercam 2025 training schedule all on the CCCS website?

ROBOZE

It’s been a busy year for ROBOZE, the global leader in additive manufacturing for high-performance materials. They’ve seen global adoption of their Professional (Plus PRO) and Production (ARGO 500 and newly released ARGO 1000 HYPERMELT) machines that can print a variety of standard, techno, and super polymers for a variety of different industries, including aerospace. 

  • Hitachi Rail has chosen the ARGO 500 solution to operate in its high-tech factory in Naples, Italy and its new digital, state-of-the-art rail factory in Washington County, Maryland. Check out the story where they highlight the use of ULTEM 9085 and Carbon PEEK to produce spare parts for its trains. 
  • Chip Ganassi Racing has been using AM for years and has just inked a deal to bring in ROBOZE machines because of their right combination of performance, capabilities, speed, and size. 
  • Visa Cash App Red Bull Formula One entered a technical partnership with ROBOZE to produce parts that are impossible to make with other production methods due to incredibly complex geometries and the need to reduce weight with like-metal materials. 

ROBOZE delivers a solution that can assist every shop. And we can help you with that as well. In fact, we’ve recently installed a Plus PRO in our Anaheim office. Want to see what it can do or have a test part printed for you? Let's schedule a visit.

CGTech VERICUT | IMTS Booth #133340

VERICUT helps close the gap between simulation and the shop floor. The perfect complement to Mastercam, VERICUT produces true G-code simulation, ensuring what you see is what you get on the machine. This year at IMTS they’ll be showcasing newly released VERICUT 9.5 which aims to maximize efficiency and minimize downtime with: 

  • A new Heat Map display to see the wear pattern on your tools.
  • CNC Machine Connectivity that allows VERICUT to connect directly to your machine to see real-time data before, during, and after machining has taken place. 
  • Better tools for working with coordinate systems.
  • Enhancements to the Mastercam interface. 
  • The ability to receive Teams or email notifications when a simulation is completed, with a summary of the results and a link to the log file. 
  • A simulation timeline that is now interactive with the NC program viewer and NC Program Review. 
  • And more.

What exactly does VERICUT do and how can it help your shop? Check out the video below and hit us up for a demo.
