Purpose

Cut following two profiles is useful in the case of an evolutionary cut, this operation is going to follow curves defined by the user with movements following four axes or possibly two axes if curves are identical.

Understanding the function

The toolpath generated by TopSolid / Wire will follow the two curves defined by the user.

If the two curves have the same number of elements, then TopSolid/Wire will synchronize the cut element by element.
