Tool: Type (from library), Feed rate and Spindle speedĬut parameters: Style, Overlap, Maximum stepover, Stock to leave We could set different parameters from the Toolpaths Facing window. In this example Facing is the first operation to perform face milling of the workpiece. It is possible that some additional chain geometry should be drawn to the part, like in this case: Bounding box is best one.ĭepending on milling application (Contur, Drill, Pocket, Face or Surface rough/finish), we chose the Under machine group select Stock setup to set stock dimensions. For creating edges we chose: Create – Curve – Curve on all edges. When performing rotation of the part, one of the standard views (Top, Front, Right…) should be selected.īefore rotation: Gview is not in correct orientation, because only a side way of the workpiece could be machined this way.Īfter rotation: WCS and Gview both set to TOP and whole surface could be machinedĪfter the part has been moved and oriented, it is recomended that surfaces and edge curves areĬreated from solid part: Create – Surface – From solid… and we chose to delete solid body.

Use commands Xform translate to move part to desired origin position (use F9 key to show/hide coordinate axes)Īnd Xform rotate to rotate the part in position, where WCS and Gview (graphic view) will both be set to TOP. Select WCS TOP – top work coordinate system, usually selected for milling top side of workpieces on 3-axis milling machines.

It is recomended that file is in step format. SELECTING AND SETTING MACHINE DEFINITION:Ĭhose Machine type – Mill – Manage list… from machine definition menu select MILL – 3 AXIS HMC.MMD-6. Milling some wooden part using Mastercam 1.
