Description
The new 4-axis rotary roughing and rotary finishing toolpaths are now available in this release. These toolpaths can pass 360 degrees and can be used on screw-type parts. They are useful in automotive and oilfield crankshafts, camshafts, and drill heads. The new toolpaths provide different controls to define the machining area, such as Axial containment, Radial containment, and Containment Loops. The supported tools for these toolpaths are End Mill, Ball Mill, and Bull Nose Mill.
Benefits
This enhancement provides the following benefits:
• Generates a machining toolpath that overcomes the 360-degree limitation
• Provides automated roughing and finishing sequences
• Creates efficient toolpaths for complex rotary parts that require 4-axis rotary machining
