Power, efficiency and control for complex sculpted shape machining.

back

3-Axis Horizontal Roughing

Also known as waterline or constant Z cutting, in which the material is roughed out in horizontal layers.

back

3-Axis Plunge Roughing

The Tool makes a series of overlapping plunges to remove cylindrical plugs of material.

back

3-Axis Horizontal Re-Roughing

Used to create toolpaths in areas that were not machined by previous operations. Eliminate Air-Cutting.

back

3-Axis Plunge Re-Roughing

Method uses plunge motions to machine areas that were not machined by previous operations.

back

3-Axis Parallel Finishing

Efficient method of finishing or pre-finishing.
The tool moves along a parallel cut pattern, following the contours of the part geometry below.

back

3-Axis Pocket Finishing

Method is used for pre-finishing and finishing of pockets with sculpted bottoms and/or sides.

back

3-Axis Horizontal Finishing

Method is used for pre-finishing or finishing in constant Z levels, typically used when the part has large vertical features.

back

3-Axis Pencil Tracing

Used either for roughing, re-machining, or cleanup, where the tool is driven along valleys and corners of the part.

back

3-Axis Valley Re-machining

Machine corners and valleys that were inaccessible in previous finishing operations.

back

3-Axis Plateau Machining

Method machines the tops of flat areas – areas that are within a specified angle from horizontal.

back

3-Axis Parallel Hill Machining

Method machines steep areas. These are areas that are within a specified angle from vertical.

back

3-Axis Horizontal Hill Machining

Method machines in constant Z levels.
Machining can be restricted only to areas in the part that are steeper than a user-defined steepness angle.

back

3-Axis Radial Machining

Method is used as a finishing operation for areas that have annular pockets, generating a radial toolpath.

back

3-Axis Spiral Machining

Method is used for finishing areas that have circular or near-circular characteristics, generating a spiral toolpath.

back

3-Axis Curve Machining

Method machines along a curve in isolated areas or shapes.

back

3-Axis Between 2 Curves Machining

Flowline machining, this method machines between two open or closed curves.

back

3-Axis Reverse Post Milling

Loads toolpaths from APT CL files and ISO standard G Code files.

Used to:

• Project the tool onto part surfaces.
• Load an existing toolpath to simulate it in VisualMill.
