Remove all the material along a face, between the rough and the finished part, all the way to the vertical extent of the rough.
TopSolid'Cam realizes successive plunges (drilling) to make this machining
The Topologic analysis engine searches for all faces linked to the face selected by the user, in order to define a closed contour, when possible.
The encountered faces are automatically extended to the superior and inferior extent of the rough. The start point of the Contouring operation is always offered at the middle of the face selected by the operator. However it is possible to redefine the new entry point (As well as the approach strategy) can be edited in the operation dialog.
The algorithm manages corners with a minimum radius smaller than the tool’s radius. In that case, TopSolid'Cam will leave leftover material that will be detected by the later machining operations.
Topologic mode
Click the face to machine.
Select the solution plunge milling.
Select the tool to use for the operation.
This selection is available whenever the topologic analysis engine detects one or more faces, vertical or inclined, or when the user selects the ‘plunge milling’ function in the automatic mode
Automatic mode
Click the profile to use.
Select the reference face on which the plunge milling will occur, or input an altitude for the location of the tool path.
Select the tool to use for the operation.
The user can eventually click on the ‘Info’ button in order to know the geometrical characteristics of the face to machine (Area, minimum radius, total height, etc..).
