This example looks at how 3-axis, 3+2 axis and 5-axis toolpath technology can be used to mill dental restorations. We will use a 3 unit bridge to demonstrate various strategies to rough, semi-finish and finish different areas of bridge. We will also demonstrate use of 5-axis finishing toolpath to finish mill the undercuts.
This example demonstrates the features of new Line projection machining strategy and its application. Line projection strategy can be extensively used for machining of rotary molds, but in this example we will demonstrate its application in 4-axis machining of a blade.
This example demonstrates the Line projection machining strategy and its application. Line projection strategy can be extensively used for machining of bottle molds, but in this example we will demonstrate its application in 3-axis undercut machining of a blade.
In this example we look at how to use 3 to 5-Axis toolpath conversion as an efficient machining method.
This example looks at how simulation can be used as a tool to optimize surface finish. Simulation is used to analyse and then remove axis reversal motion resulting from the tool axis tilt during the machining process. These axis reversals can lead to surface marking on the final component so are best avoided.
This example looks at 3-axis Flowline machining techniques for finishing a component. Flowline machining is popular when machining a group of similar surfaces with the toolpath following the flow of the U or V parameter lines to give excellent surface finish.
