Finishing and Semi-finishing Operations

These are the operations that you will need to finish or semi-finish the machining of the part.

  Create a Sweeping operation:
  • Click Sweeping ,
  • Choose a part to machine,
  • Specify the tool to be used. 

You can also specify machining parameters, feedrates and spindle speeds and macro data.

  Create a ZLevel operation:
  • Click ZLevel
  • Choose a part to machine,
  • Specify the tool to be used. 

You can also specify machining parameters, feedrates and spindle speeds and macro data.

  Create a Contour-driven operation:
  • Click Contour-driven
  • Choose a part to machine and the type of contour,
  • Choose a stepover mode,
  • Specify the tool to be used. 

You can also specify machining parameters, feedrates and spindle speeds and macro data.

  Create a Profile contouring operation:
  • Select Profile Contouring
  • Choose a part to machine,
  • Choose the contouring mode,
  • Specify the tool to be used.
  Create a Spiral milling operation:
  • Click Spiral Milling
  • Choose a part to machine,
  • Specify the tool to be used,
  • Specify how horizontal zones are to be detected. 

You can also specify machining parameters, feedrates and spindle speeds and macro data.

  Create an isoparametric machining operation:
  • Click Isoparametric Machining
  • Choose a part to machine,
  • Choose four points to define the direction of isoparameters,
  • Specify the tool to be used.

You can also specify machining parameters, feedrates and spindle speeds and macro data.
