Mastercam deburring toolpath for automated edge finishing, enhancing part quality and reducing manual post-processing.

Mastercam Deburr: The Smarter Way to Achieve Flawless Finishes

Burrs can compromise precision, slow production, and lead to extra manual labour. But with the new Mastercam Deburr tool, machinists can finally remove burrs quickly, accurately, and directly at the machine — no hand finishing required.

By integrating this intelligent deburring tool into your Mastercam workflow, you reduce cycle times, improve surface quality, and boost shop-floor efficiency — all while keeping your production fully automated.

What Is Mastercam Deburr?

Mastercam Deburr is a powerful finishing toolpath that simplifies and automates the deburring process.

Instead of removing burrs manually or post-machining, you can now eliminate them during your cutting process using toolpath-based deburring.

This feature targets the unwanted sharp edges and raised material (burrs) that form during machining, especially around sharp corners or part transitions.

These imperfections can impact performance, pose safety hazards, and reduce product quality — all of which Mastercam Deburr solves before parts leave the machine.

Core Features That Set Mastercam Deburr Apart

Mastercam Deburr isn’t just another toolpath — it’s a productivity booster. Here’s what makes it so effective:

Automatic Edge Detection

Quickly identifies edges that require deburring, saving time during programming and ensuring no critical surfaces are missed.

Seamless Integration

Available as an add-on module to your existing Mastercam 2D/3D Milling, Router, or Mill-Turn license. You can find it in the 3D Toolpaths gallery under the Finishing category, or directly via the Toolpaths Manager.

Flexible Tool Compatibility

Supports tools including:

  • Ball Endmills
  • Lollipop Cutters
  • Taper Mills with Full Radius

This makes it ideal for both 3-Axis and 3+2 Axis machining strategies.

Intuitive User Interface

Like all Mastercam tools, Deburr uses a simple, clean UI. You can easily manage toolpath parameters, preview edge selections, and apply deburring with minimal setup time.

Reduced Post-Processing Time

By deburring parts at the machine, you eliminate secondary processes and manual labour — reducing lead times and operator fatigue.

Why Use Mastercam Deburr?

If your workflow includes manual deburring, you already know it can be inconsistent, time-consuming, and labour-intensive. Mastercam Deburr solves this by:

  • Ensuring repeatable, high-quality edge finishing
  • Reducing the risk of errors or oversights common in manual work
  • Allowing deburring to be done during the machining process, saving time
  • Supporting a wide variety of part geometries and industries

Whether you’re in aerospace, automotive, medical device manufacturing, or general machining — if burrs are a concern, Mastercam Deburr offers a scalable, programmable solution.

Get Started with Mastercam Deburr

This add-on is compatible with:

  • Mastercam Mill 2D
  • Mastercam Mill 3D
  • Mastercam Router
  • Mastercam Mill-Turn

No external software, extra finishing tools, or manual touch-ups are required — just cleaner, safer, high-performance parts straight off the machine.

The Bottom Line

Mastercam Deburr is more than a convenience — it’s a smart manufacturing upgrade. It improves part quality, boosts efficiency, and removes the need for tedious, manual edge cleanup.
