(powered by MDT&AutoCAD2000)

Step 1

Loading the Design file

Previous step Home Next step

Steps:

Choose the File>Open commands in the MDT (or AutoCAD2000) to load the file ContourPlate.dwg. This file contains the 3D model of the Contour plate and should be located in the folder ...\user\ after the standard installation process.

The outer contour of the plate will be machined using a Profile Job. Start machining the profile at an offset to the contour of 2. With a side step of 1 and then 0.8, SOLIDCAM2000 will prepare the profile. Then the final finishing cut with a cutting depth of 0.2 will clean the profile.

The Pocket will be roughed to a remaining offset on the wall of 0.2 and will then be finished in the last cut.
