Toolpath without collision<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
A toolpath is generated only for the portions that can be machined with the specified tool overhang length. The toolpath that is keep tool load produces stable machining. So it extends tool life. Corner radii are automatically inserted in the corner portions of the toolpath. It switches between contour machining and projection machining automatically depending on the inclination angle of the geometry surface. High function mode allows contour machining and projection machining locations to be specified arbitrarily on a surface by surface basis. Make a spiral tool path based on the tool path of contour machining. Creates contour paths to form uniform steps on the specified cross-section. This toolpath is to find the machining remain from a former machining automatically and creates appropriately. Make a equally tool path fit on the geometry that was based on setting one group of closed curves. It is uniformly processed according to the selected open loop curve. [3D curve machining] sets the curve as the target for machining and generates a tool path along the curve. FFCAM creates smooth toolpath to several surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n FFCAM creates toolpath that is few machining remain at smooth surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Contour Gap Machining is notably effective for die cast dies with their highly convex-concave geometry.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n The corner edges become sharp. Repeated path on each Z level. Left ; Machining for One time FFCAM automatically detects the flat areas of the workpiece geometry and generates toolpaths only for those surfaces.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n FFCAM automatically detects the flat areas and section edges of the workpiece geometry, and generates toolpaths only for the edges of the flat surfaces.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n FFCAM generates toolpaths on simple profile lines. This function is also used to generate a path for the tool radius offset code\u3002 FFCAM supports drilling with tools such as drills, taps, reamers, boring tools, and chamfering cutters. Trochoidal (spiral) motion is performed where the cutting load increases. Only specify the outline and parameter, can make a toolpath of Contour-step machining on core\u30fbpocket geometry of 2 – 2.5D. Reviewed algorithm and utilization of multithread technology shorten tool paths calculation time to 1\/3 of conventional time.
