Toolpaths are created based on the model surfaces you’ve selected, and depending on the cutting options for that Toolpath like the stock for finish, DOC, boundary, operational stock, surfaces you’ve select to avoid ( check surfaces ) affect where material s left over or targeted for cleanup.ĢD CAD-CAM will always have a place in machine shops for CNC machine programming. Morph Between 2 Curves (Flowline style machine toolpath)Ĭutting options you use in 3D Toolpaths affect where Toolpath is created. So unlike 2D toolpath where you define a boundary and depth, 3D Toolpaths are applied to the model directly, where they cut and how deep is based on the surface or solid directly.ģD Toolpaths Surface that are Solid Based:ģD Toolpaths that are Surface Based Only: 3D toolpath cut where and to the surfaces you have selected. Now that you have a 3D surface or solid you can apply 3D toolpath to them. Primitive solids are used in combination with solid Boolean editing features to create solid models. Also, you can use surface edges to create additional surfaces or solids.ģD geometry types and functionality used to create Surfaces include:
There are Surfacing / Solids features that do not require any wire fame, they use user input as an example, primitive solids shapes. Note that if you’ve imported a file or choose to create a solid model of your part you can use surface edges as boundaries for 2D toolpaths, and you can use surface edges to define the depth of your Toolpaths.ģD drawings mostly are based on wireframe boundaries that are used to create surfaces or solids. This streamlines creating the machining operations and simplifies the process as the user can get more done in less CAM moves. These machining operations are available through Dynamic Machine Strategy™ functionality where the user can use multiple operations for individual CAD features. These types of geometries can be used for drawing profiles to be machined and more that include boundary geometry that is used to contain toolpath into a specific region of a part model. Once you’ve drawn the features you need to machine in the part you’ll apply 2D toolpaths for machining. Generally, if you are drawing a part from scratch you use points lines and arc to create your geometry. Look for cost-effective CAD-CAM that provides:ĢD Toolpaths are based on wireframe*.
