Interesting.
Well, I haven't actually mounted the job on the machine yet, as I'm still trying to come up with the best method of machining, and the clumsy oafs at the anodizing factory decided to throw all my last batch of parts in one box with no packing material, so they're all dinged and scratched and need a bit of remachining to save them, which has put me off schedule a tad.
Anyhow, I'd like to give the HSM Contour roughing a bash, just for a look, and then a selection of other 2.5D and HSM rest and finishing ops to get the job done.
I really like the way the toolpath 'leaps around' in the simulation, but it's difficult to follow, and I'm looking forward to see how this goes during real time cutting. |
