Mastercam Wire Version 5 CAD/CAM Software for Windows Released

TOLLAND, Connecticut, July 15, 1995 - CNC Software, Inc. announces the
release of Mastercam Wire Version 5, the next generation of its popular
CAD/CAM software for creating and programming wire EDM parts. Mastercam
Wire offers a fast, efficient CAD front-end, 2-and 4-axis automatic sync
points, 2- and 4-axis pocketing with or without taper, automatic skim cuts
and tab/glue stop creation, and much more.

This new version simplifies part design and programming with features such
as automatic correction for maximum taper and UV travel, surface creation
and surface-to-surface intersections, and complete drafting features
including 3D dimensioning.

Enhanced two-axis programming capabilities include multiple-option
automatic lead-in and lead-out generation including tear drop, and
automatic corner filleting for internal, external, or all intersections.
One directional or reverse path skimcuts can be programmed with
user-defined machining parameters. All machining parameters, such as wire
compensation in the control, are automatically updated as needed.

Tapered contours allow changes to the taper angle, either immediately or
gradually at any point in the contour. Graphical representation of both XY
and UV surfaces provides easy visual verification. Mastercam Wire supports
conical, sharp, and constant tapered corner types which can be changed at
any point.

Mastercam Wire also provides a C-language interface for easy third-party
customization, built-in bidirectional translators including IGES, VDA,
DXF, CADL, STL and more. Over 500 custom and user-definable post
processors are also available.

Mastercam Wire is the latest in the family of Windows and Windows NT-based
CAD/CAM solutions from CNC Software, Inc. Mastercam CAD/CAM packages are
available for 2- through 5-axis milling, turning, 2- and 4-axis wire EDM,
moldbase development, 3D design, drafting and surface modeling.
