Make part in SolidWorks 1:1 size
Mill part 2mm smaller than its 1:1 size.
Spray part with primer, up to 3mm.
Mill part to it's 1:1 size.
So.. Using SolidWorks CAD ja CAM what are the right steps to to it.
Other thing is probing. Make 2 holes for that or one corner and two sides that will on the same size from the beginning?
Re: Milling part few mm smaller than it's real size
U can add an allowance in - (less than 0) U can use tool that is larger than U set in SolidCam, or U can Use sketched line as a geometry for smaller part, and probably some more ways to achieve part regardless model dimmensions.
Of course U also can make smaller part and 1:1 separately in SW.
That depends on what U do and what is comfortable to U..
As for probing I just don't understand what U asking about...
Re: Milling part few mm smaller than it's real size
I'd do first milling in cam as "stock to leave" (autodesk term) as neg -1mm. This will leave 1mm stock on part all round making it 2mm smaller in total.
Second milling "stock to leave" as 0.
Milling part few mm smaller than it's real size
