    Exclamation Cut 3D Finishing

    I am having a problem in Cut 3D finishing. My parts have a lot of square edges that are being rounded off in the finishing pass. The roughing cuts are perfect. What's going on?

    Pictures talk... along with a file. How large is the model?

    Thanks for the reply

    Thanks for the reply, the model is about 7" X 6". I have been looking for some buttons to push or knobs to turn to correct this problem. I have attached a pic, This one is in rough cut and has nice crisp edges. If I run the finish pass I'll get the rest of the details but loose those edges. This part attaches to other segments and needs to have a low visibility seam. I am not sure what is CV Mode?

    Size (resolution) shouldn't be a problem... I can tell from the picture but is that all flat surface or is there some slope on this model. If there are no slope, then why is it made in 3D CAM rather than in 2D? You sure you tool is all tight and tidy, right?

    Everything on the model is drafted except the bottom, that is flat. Tools are good.

    Can you post the file (*.v3d)? Can you post pictures of the finishing toolpaths results?

    The finishing pass effect

    I did some of these in plaster with a finish pass. I have attached two pics, one with and one without a finish. Notice that the edges have been rounded.

    That's strange... I suggest you send your files (v3d and pictures) to Vectric support and explain them your problem.

    also check for close tolerance values set as '0'...
    just a thought/guess...

    GER21..If CV mode is on then he must get trouble in Rough pass too..But he is getting roundness in finish pass only...
