Below we are going to see how to do the first of these with
a between contours operation on a small area of a part. To create the
operation, you define:
- the geometry
of the part to machine ,
- the parameters of the
machining
strategy ,
- the
tool to use ; you have the
choice of end mill or
conical tools for
this operation,
- the feedrates and spindle speeds
,
- the macros
.
Only the geometry and the guide contour(s) (strategy tab) are obligatory.
ll of the other requirements have a default value
Either:
- make the Manufacturing Program current in the specification
tree if you want to define an operation
and the part/area to machine at the same time,
- or select a machining feature from the
list if you have already defined the area to machine and
now you want to define the operation to apply to it.
Open file Basic2.CATPart, then
select Machining > Surface Machining in the Start
menu. |
