    flat land finishing

    Hi

    I am looking to use the 3d flat land finishing to machine a complex pocket.

    I would like to keep the endmill tangent to the edge of the pocket.

    What I am getting now, is a toolpath where the centerline is on the edge of the pocket.

    Is it possible to do this with this type of toolpath?

    Thank You

    You can use the wireframe to create a pocket with a small stepover and then project the toolpath onto the surfaces with 3d project. You can do a planar toolpath. You can simply use "cut" and pick each surface individually. You can use 3d offset with 2d boundaries, and order the cut outside->in
