Check collisions in Level 1

[Donizeti Pinto]

Have anyone got any ideia about how to check collisions using Level 1?

 

I have a single plate where I'd tried to use many fixtures that toutchs a face that must be faced.

 

How can I automaticaly detect the fixtures and avoid them?

Use pocket and chain the clamps so that MC thinks they're islands.

Mr. Meyette,

 

Great! Simple, but it worked!

Another option is to create all the toolpaths to finish the job. Then use the toolpath, next menu trim function and chain the outside of your part and the clamps. You will need to offset the geometry of the clamp the radius of your tool but this allows you to ensure multiple toolpaths will not gouge your clamps, you may have to use more than one trim operations if you are using many tools.

 

good luck
