tock models are key to machining efficiently. New functionality eliminates excessive tool engagement and limits the maximum depth of any cut into un-machined material. Collision checking against fixtures is easier and quicker Both these controls reduce tool wear and improve surface finish by avoiding any overloading of the tool. In addition, a new “detect material thicker than” command ensures that rest material thinner than the specified limit is ignored. This prevents toolpaths being generated in any areas where the benefit of the extra cut is negligible, such as cusps left by the previous toolpath.Fixture avoidace in 2.5 Fixture avoidance has also been improved for 2.5 axis machining. In previous releases, the system required that you sketch out a boundary that...
