Creating High Speed Rest Rough Sequence
1. Click Mill > HSM Rest Rough. The HSM Rest Rough tab opens.
2. Click
and create a 8X2 BULL_MILL tool with a cutter diameter of 8 mm.
3. On the
References tab, in the
Rough Stock File collector, click
to import the rough stock file. The
Open dialog box opens.
4. Select hsm-rough.stl and click Open.
5. On the Parameters tab, the parameters are populated automatically, based on the tool diameter. To optimize the toolpath, set values as shown for the following parameters:
◦ FEED_UNITS = MMPM
◦ STEP_OVER = 3
◦ ROUGH_STOCK_ALLOW = 0.3
◦ MAX_STEP_DEPTH = 3
◦ SPINLDE SPEED = 6000
6. Click the arrow next to
and then click
. The
Material Removal tab opens.
7. On the Material Removal tab, click Stock Model > Open In-Process Stock. The Load stock dialog box opens.
8. Select hsm-rough.bin and click Open.
9. Click
to play the simulation. The
Play Simulation dialog box opens.
10. On the Material Removal tab, in the Stock Display list, select Sequence.
11. In the Play Simulation dialog box, click Sequence List to expand it. In the sequence list, double-click the color palette and set a new color that contrasts with the stock color.
12. Click
to play simulation.
13. On the Material Removal tab, click Stock Model > Save In-Process Stock to open the Save current stock dialog box.
14. In the File Name box, type hsm-rest-rough.bin and click Save. This file will be used in the subsequent finishing material removal simulation.
15. On the
