CNC Will Not CUT Sloped Edge Modeled**
We are using a ShopBot 2-phase .5 degree/step CNC machine. The objects to be cut were originally created in Rhino. From the Rhino file, we exported STL files to set up cut settings in PartWorks.
The objects we are trying to cut are 22" x 22" x 2" foam board. The foam boards are to have a cut out in the center, either triangular or circular. The piece pictured in the first image is more circular. The edges of the cut out are modeled in Rhino to have a gradual 1/4" slope from the top to the bottom. The second image is a wireframe right side image of a a more triangular cut out. As you can see, there it is sloped. But when we cut the piece on the machine, the edges are not sloped. The bit simply goes straight down. Is there some setting we are missing? Or any other reason for why we are not seeing a slope?

Re: CNC Will Not Sloped Edge Modeled
Looks like the model is upside down from the pic. If the smaller end of the slope is at the top in the model then any tool path would just drop to the bottom and make a circle. It can't reach the inside taper without gouging the part so cuts only what it can safely make contact with. Try flipping the model over an redoing your tool paths.
