Purpose

Create a tool path with a transversal section ( generatrix curve) on a guiding curve (directrix curve)  defined in the plan XY (the same principle as the swept surface).

The interest of such a machining is to be able to generate in the ISO code circular interpolations. TopSolid'Cam uses here a 2D/5 machining,not 3D one. Arcs of a circle are so known if they are present in the profile.

 

 

How to use

  1. Select the  "Milling | 2.5D operation | Sweep operation" function.

  2. If there are several parts, indicate the part to machine.

  3. Pick the directrix curve and indicate inside which points TopSolid'Cam has to make the tool path (Click on ENTIRE PROFILE to follow all the directrix curve)

  4. Check the direction

  5. Pick the generatrix curve

  6. Check the direction.

  7. Check the material side.

  8. Choose  the necessary tool for the operation.

  9. Validate the operation parameters in the dialog box with the OK button.
