Creating Rough and Rest Rough Sequences Using Multiple Orientations
Watch the video that shows you how to work with Rough and Rest Rough parameters in multiple orientations. This tutorial is a step-by-step guide on how to create HSM Rough and Rest Rough sequences in multiple orientations.
Creating a HSM Rough Sequence Using the Mill Window 1
1. Open the FUEL_TANK_P30.ASM assembly with a default coordinate system NC. The default retract plane for operation OP010 is R.
2. On the Model Tree, click 1ST_ORIENTATION_ROUGH and then click 
to edit the definition. The 
HSM Rough tab opens.

and select SF16_R2_ISO50 tool.
and select SF16_R2_ISO50 tool.4. On the References tab, click the Mill window collector and on the Model Tree, select Mill Window 1.
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 = 12
◦ ROUGH_STOCK_ALLOW = 1
◦ MAX_STEP_DEPTH = 2
◦ SCAN_TYPE = CONSTANT_LOAD
◦ CUT_TYPE = CLIMB
6. Click the arrow next to

9. On the Material Removal tab, click > to save the processed stock. The Save as STL dialog box opens.
10. In the File Name box, type 1st_rough.stl and click Save. This file will be used for the toolpath calculation of subsequent rest roughing sequence.
11. On the Material Removal tab, click > to open Save current stock dialog box.
12. In the File Name box, type 1st_rough.bin and click Save. This bin file will be used in the subsequent rest roughing material removal simulation.
13. On the Material Removal tab, click 
and then on the HSM Rough tab, click OK to complete the sequence.
