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)
