3X Z Level

The 3-axis Z-level finishing cycle is a high-performance machining strategy identified by a blue "3x" badge within the multi-axis milling suite. It is a multi-threaded cycle designed for significantly faster computing times and optimized overall machining, including built-in rework for residual material.

• Faster Computing: The multi-threaded nature of the cycle allows for rapid processing of complex geometry.

• Optimized Machining: The cycle is designed to minimize time on the machine by including rework calculations and optimizing tool movements.
