How Catamount Machine Works Uses Mastercam for 5-Axis Milling, Turning, and Wire EDM Programming 

At Catamount Machine Works, complex aerospace parts demand more than capable machines—they require intelligent, efficient, and precise programming. That’s why we rely on Mastercam, the industry-leading CAD/CAM software, to program our 5-axis milling, multi-axis turning, and wire EDM operations.

By combining Mastercam’s advanced toolpath control with our modern equipment and AS9100-certified processes, we deliver faster cycle times, superior finishes, and consistent quality—part after part.

Why We Use Mastercam

Mastercam enables us to:

• Generate multi-axis toolpaths for complex aerospace geometries

• Automate stock-aware roughing and finishing strategies

• Optimize tool life, cycle time, and surface finish through dynamic motion

• Program high-precision wire EDM routines for tight-tolerance parts

• Simulate and verify all toolpaths before a single chip is cut

This software supports everything from prototype to production and is especially valuable when programming tight-tolerance, multi-feature parts typical in aerospace, defense, and commercial aviation.

Our Applications at Catamount Machine Works

We use Mastercam daily to program parts that require:

• 5-axis machining for complex angles, contours, and undercuts

• Multi-axis turning with live tooling and sub-spindle synchronization

• Wire EDM programming for parts with ultra-fine slots, tight radii, and precision holes

Whether we're machining high-strength aluminum, titanium, stainless, or aerospace-grade plastics, Mastercam gives us the programming precision to run lights-out automation with confidence.

Benefits for Aerospace Buyers

By using Mastercam, buyers benefit from:

✅ Faster Turnaround
Optimized toolpaths reduce machining time and improve efficiency.

✅ Greater Accuracy
Post-processor-verified G-code and simulation eliminate errors before machining.

✅ Complex Geometry? No Problem.
Multi-axis strategies allow us to machine features without multiple setups.

✅ Precision from Code to Chip

Seamless integration with our inspection and probing systems ensures every feature meets spec.

Programming with AS9100 in Mind

Because we’re an AS9100D and ISO 9001 certified shop, our use of Mastercam is tightly integrated with our:

• Tool libraries

• Setup sheets and travelers

• Inspection plans

• Rev-controlled file management

This means that every program is documented, controlled, and repeatable—whether it's the first part or the thousandth.

Ready for Complex Aerospace Machining?

If your project involves tight tolerances, challenging geometries, or high-reliability applications, Catamount Machine Works is equipped with the software and skill to deliver it right the first time.
