5X Isoparametric

Isoparametric is a finishing operation respecting the natural orientation of the face: the U and V isoparametric curves. This cycle is included in the optional module 4-5 axis.

Key Points

Easy selection by only a single click on a solid face.
Ability to define isoparametric strategies such as Chaining Coefficient, Zig Zag path, HSM machining.
Ability to define allowances in XYZ, Normal to stock.
Ability to define Longitudinal and Transversal tilting angles.
3D correction for toolpath.
Defined with motions following 5 simultaneous axes.
