Purpose

Using the Planar faces machining strategy to automatically generate the roughing of all the planar faces of a part with a complex shape.

 

Understanding the function

Each planar faces defines a different level which is then machined by applying a strategy of machining.

Two kind of machining are applicable according to the topology met at a given level:

 

The calculation  made by TopSolid'Cam, takes into account the state of the stock left by the previous operations.

 

How to use

  1. Select the menu "Milling | 3D operation | Planar faces machining" .

  2. If there are several parts, select the part to be machined.

  3. Select the tool (or change tool) which can be used for the machining operation.

  4. Specify the different parameters in the tab dialogue box which appears.
