Machining

Machining Overview

The Cam button will open the Process list, the Machining palette, and the Operation list. The Process list, (located below the Tool list) is used to create sets of operations to be performed on cut shapes. The Machining palette contains Function tiles that when used in conjunction with Tool tiles create Process tiles. The Process list is a "staging area" that is used to generate finished operations which contain the toolpaths for cutting the part. When an operation is finished and placed in the Operation list, the items in the Process list can be thrown away or reused with a different cut shape. The Operation list contains the completed operations that will be output during post processing.
