Pencil millingPencil milling Corners cleanupCorners cleanup The rest machining operation generates passes along inner corners of the part. There are single passes and series of parallel passes. The rest machining operation takes the diameter of the previous tool as a parameter and generates passes where the previous tool would leave unmachined material. 3. The operation generates continuous helical passes with the given vertical stepover between the top and the bottom level. Helical operationHelical operation Scallop operationScallop operation The operation generates the path of finishing machining of separately taken surfaces regardless of their curvature. 4. • Grooving in multiple layers • The toolpath is built taking into an account the remaining material • Toolpath calculation on the left, the right or at once to two edges of the cutting insert • The automatic determination of the narrow grooves on the workpiece • Machining of the narrow grooves by the size of the width of cutting edge incisor Grooving cycleGrooving cycle 5. Including the remaining materialExcluding the remaining material RoughingRoughing VersionVersion 1111VersionVersion 1010 6. Roughing rotary operation generates NC program, taking into account the remaining material. It can be compared with the «waterline roughing» operation, but not in the plane and on the cylinder around the axis of rotation of the part. The job zone is defined by: • the minimal and maximal axial positions • the angular sector • top and bottom levels of machining Strategies: • circular • spiral • linear Step depth is defined separately. 7.

Power SHAPE 1. Addins from new versions of CAD systems are updated 2. New file formats are added: • PLY (Polygon File Format) – for 3D scanner using • AMF files (Additive Manufacturing File) – is an open standard for describing objects for additive manufacturing processes (such as 3D printing)
