Advanced 3D with HSM enhancements introduce a complete range of advanced 3-axis milling functionality with support for high-speed machining (HSM). Three-axis surface machining capabilities provide more control and flexibility in toolpath generation with integral high-speed machining support. The enhancements blend ease-of-use and powerful functionality.
Advanced 3D with HSM enhancement for SolidSurfacer includes:
- Support for 3D material only;
- Support for more advanced tool shapes (tapered tools);
- New types of finishing processes (e.g. surface step-over cut and steep/shallow combination);
- Improved toolpath quality;
- Options to provide toolpaths that better support high speed machining;
- Improved use of boundaries;
- Enhanced entry/exit control;
- Ability to directly machine faceted bodies, including imported STL files;
- Automatic core/cavity detection for inside-out or outside-in determination;
- Operation splitting for tool wear and for optimal length out of holder;
- Multi-threaded for multi-CPU machines and to support batch toolpath generation; and
- Automatic filleting of a surface to avoid sharp concave corners.
