Advanced Tool Path Techniques in OneCNC Mill Expert - CAM Training 2
In this training video, we will continue to apply tool paths to our part using OneCNC Mill Expert. Follow along as we refine our machining process with finishing operations, custom boundaries, and cap geometry.
Key Topics Covered:
Applying Z-Level Finish Operations:
Manually defining a tool and setting parameters.
Selecting the appropriate approach style and cut direction.
Specifying boundary types and Z envelope constraints.
Creating and Using Cap Geometry:
Creating cap geometry to prevent tool path intrusion.
Adding a new layer for cap geometry for easy management.
Using the 'Extract Edge' and 'Surface from Curves' commands.
Regenerating Tool Paths with Cap Geometry:
Ensuring the tool paths do not enter undesired areas.
Demonstrating the effectiveness of cap geometry in simulation.
Flat Area Machining Operation:
Setting up a new tool and defining parameters.
Choosing the appropriate machining style and approach.
Implementing custom boundaries and Z envelope settings.
Simulating and Verifying Tool Paths:
Using the tool path simulation to check for accuracy.
Adjusting parameters and verifying results in the simulation.
