5X Pocket Morphing

cbL462-20230207-083458.png

This cycle generates very smooth 5 axes toolpath, by respecting as much as possible the shape of the part. The toolpath is based on the Voronoi mathematical algorithm.

This toolpath is especially efficient on cavity shapes and can manage undercut areas.

Key Points

  • The whole shape can be machined, there is no function of limitation Area.

  • The drive profile gives both the shape and limitation of toolpath.

  • The combinations are multiple for the definition of the machining area.

If you do not define a Drive Profile, the calculation is based on the bounding box of the whole shape!
