Definition

GO2cam advanced pocketing cycles offer several solutions to make the toolpath as safe as possible, by optimizing toolpaths, by decreasing jerks, by reducing feedrate. All these options enable to save time and increase the tool life and the machining quality.

Optimization

Rework Zone Tolerance

Possibility to limit the reworking areas.
