Finish Contour - Shape

GO2cam applies automatically a 2D contouring on a 3D shape by Z increments, managing leadin and leadout motions and the tool radius compensation.

Key Points

The main parameters are very similar to those of the 2D cycles.

The toolpath can be programmed on the part profile or shifted, with or without compensation.
The Rmax coefficient is also available to prevent the programming of circular interpolation with a radius equal to the tool radius.
