wire 4 axis

[zipper7]

is there a way to Create a 4-Axis core Pocketing operation in x6

[Richard Thomas - Mastercam UK]

I'm no Wire guru but I have access to it since I work for a reseller. I would say the answer is no I'm afraid. I think you would have to No Core in 2d first and then finish in 4 axis. (which is probably the way you do it already!)

Zipper, do you mean a 4 axis "No Core" opp? If so I don't see it.

yes, i guest i was wounderng if any body has created a 4 axis no core chook that they use and would like to share it i know nothing about creating chooks or maybe somebody would like to creat one for me thanks

What kind of contour are you trying to do a 4 axis nocore wirepath?

yes

[Del.]

yes

 

 

I mean the geometry. Small tapered hole or pocket?

pocket top and bottom i can offset the pocket geometry top and bottom connect the branch points fix it so it chains one contius chain it just take to long to do

No core passes take a long time also. The only time I use them is when I know a small slug is going to be a PIA to get out or gouge my part. If you must do a no core 4 axis contour I would just do a normal 4 axis chain and take multiple wire paths, offsetting each time the diameter of the wire in my offsets. I think mastercam is limited though on how many passes you can take.
