Tool Path

Roughing

Reference (Geometry selection)

Bottom Altitude = ENTITY

Value must be Tool radius

To save machining time is important to place abutment on position with minimum undercut - we can reduce number of pass

Correct placement minimum Z depth

Not correct many pass in Z

Setting to get the minimum air cutting

Stategy TAB

Movement TAB

Options TAB

Automatique stop on the parting line.

Rapid.Fmax % = 1 to have maximum of G0 for link between 2 path

Value = 0.1

Here the stock is after turning operation so stock is very smooth

no need to have small tolerance

Force the toolpath to start from outside to inside

To avoid retract mouvement.

Tool work area by Area

4Xs

Automatic reference:

101: STL file + RED Cylinder to protect Connectic area

102: SOLID at the back to avoid to tuch occlusal face

107: Guide line used for 4Xs tool path - length can be adjust inside setting

NB: (without MTE)

1 – Create your new tool in the DATABASE

2 – Inside MTE LOAD your tool

3 – Save FMO

4 – New file to check if tool is in the machine

5 – Edit OPL back turning and change tool (you can replace previous OPL or create new one)

  • 4XS Toolpath = ToolPath is more smooth, rotary speed of S1 is constant, so we can use 0.01 as tolerance

  • Minimum Diameter for protection of the connectic area
