Advanced

Application area:

The Advanced group contains operations for surface finishing, undercut machining, multi-axis roughing, and machining spatial contours. The individual topics describe the available toolpath strategies and tool orientation settings.

Operations:

• Combo finish. Combines plane, waterline, and scallop finishing strategies. Details

• Surfacing. Finishes surfaces using configurable strategies and tool orientations. Details

• Scallop. Generates finishing passes with a consistent step-over across surfaces. Details

• Helical. Generates a helical finishing toolpath. Details

• Morph. Generates passes that morph between specified curves. Details

• Undercut waterline. Machines undercut areas using waterline passes. Details

• Swarf. Machines surfaces with the side of the tool. Details

• 5D Roughing waterline. Generates five-axis roughing toolpaths. Details

• 5D by meshes. Generates toolpaths for machining meshes. Details

• 6D Contouring. Machines spatial contours with control of tool orientation. Details

• Contour polishing. Finishes part walls and edges along contours using a disc tool. Details
