Mastercam Curve Functions

Mastercam includes multiple Curve functions, located on the Wireframe tab. These functions create curves or curve slices on solids, surfaces, or meshes in different ways. These curves can then be used by other Mastercam functions, such as creating boundaries for toolpaths (as shown below) or indicating parting lines for mold making.

Curve Functions

Icon	Function Name	Function Description
	Curve One Edge	Creates a curve on an individual solid, surface, or mesh edge.
	Curve All Edges	Create curves on all the edges of a surface, solid body, or solid face.
	Curve Slice by Plane	Creates curves on surfaces, solids, and meshes, or use to create points on a curve.
	Curve Slice Along Curve	Creates wireframe slices through surfaces, solids, and meshes along a selected chain.
	Curve at Intersection	Create curves at the intersections between surfaces, solids, and meshes.
	Curve Flowline	Creates flowline curves on a surface.
	Curve Constant Parameter	Creates a curve along the UV lines of a surface at a selected location.
	Curve Parting Line	Create curves on surfaces based on the selected construction plane.
	Curve Surface	Automatically creates surface curves on the selected surface.
	Curve Dynamic	Creates curves on a surface that travel through selected locations.
	Curve Center	Creates a wireframe curve at the midline between two or more selected chains.
