3D Toolpath wrong depth

[jzagaja]

STL from Solidworks imported into Aspire 8.5 or 9.5. One side job - internal surface of a funnel type object. 3D toolpaths does not go deep enough no matter what I set as boundary. VisualCAM does not have this problem. See:

Additional picture of machined detail - 3D toolpath does not go as deep as material (20mm).

Did you perhaps call out a tool that's not long enough to get to the bottom of the hole? Or define your tool holder diameter as too wide to fit down there?

I've called standard tool. Where is tool length - I don't see in edit window.

Have you checked out the tool definition in the tool library?

@routalot:
There is no info on tool length in tool library.

Then we may have identified the problem.Could you post a screenshot of the tool definition from the tool library?

Are you Aspire user if you ask this? I identified problem - untick "Discard data below zero plane" when importing STL.

I have helped out a friend who bought Vcarve,which is similar,and thought there was a fair chance that the tool modelled had a length that would have had the collet nut hitting the surface.I'm glad you found the correct option box to tick for the program to be successful.Did you import the STL because of the slightly offbeat way Vectric deals with CAD?

I design in Solidworks and import to Vectric because it has postprocessor for Vision v.1 controller from 90s. Import is not as good as in slicers for 3D printers.
