Using the Perpendicular Lace Option

The availability of this option is licence dependant.

The Perpendicular Lace option on the Control tab automatically re-machines the steep regions on the model that would normally leave a poorer finish compared to the rest of the model. This is achieved by using two Parallel Lace toolpaths to machine the part. The first toolpath machines the flatter areas, while the second Parallel Lace cycle is applied at 90 degrees to the primary cut direction.

Choose from the following options:

Primary Bounded - The primary parallel lace toolpath is excluded from the steep regions leaving these areas to be cut only with the secondary, perpendicular toolpath.

Primary Unbounded - Uses the Perpendicular Lace option but allows the primary toolpath to machine the entire model first. The perpendicular toolpath then re-cuts the steep regions.

Use the Contact Angle to control the extent of primary and secondary toolpaths.
