5X Swarf on single profile

This 5 Axis Swarf operation is applied one only profile. Then in strategy page, you need to define the side of toolpath according to the solid face.

Technical Reminder about SWARF cutting: Side Wall Axial Relief Feed.

The goal is to produce the target surface with only one cut, using the whole flute length of the tool. The motivation is:

• better surface finish quality (without hand finish),

• shorter finish cycle time,

• full access of machining areas through simultaneous 5 axis vector orientation,

• constant cutting conditions (increased material removal, constant (low) cutting force).

• A solid is necessary; select wireframe or edges corresponding to the bottom profile to be machined.

• 2D geometry can be used: you can create them with Edges function. You can also directly click on the edges of solid.

• The cycle also allows to define the offset of the toolpath as per requirement. (Left or right)
