What is the benefit of this enhancement?
The new geodesic 5 axis finish toolpath complements the finishing toolpaths that are included in the 5 axis HSM extension.
This enhancement adds the following capabilities:
• Automatic holes filling
• Use of containment curves laying on the surface
• Morphing between two curves laying on the surface
• Multiple controls for tilting
Geodesic machining is the next step in the evolution of the constant step-over pattern generation for finishing toolpaths.
This enhancement eliminates many manual steps to prepare the geometry for finishing toolpaths. It provides a better surface finish quality and additional flexibility to create 5 axis finishing toolpaths.
