5axis paths

[myrock]

Would you please give ideas how to create simultaneous multiaxis paths for this part and don't use 3+2 multiaxis indexing paths.

 

Thanks,

Curve 5 Axis, Swarf 5 Axis, Morph between 2 curves are all solid choices on these surfaces.

 

Look up these topics and there are tons of ides you can cross reference to your part.

 

Good luck tell us how you came out.

Morph between 2 curves, paralell to surf, or swarf milling don't have compensation direction option. Therefore, they could not comp left or right. I don't want to redraw surfaces or offset wireframes.

I think both swarf milling toolpaths have cutter compensation.

No stock post outputs cutter comp on multi-axis paths as "most" machines don't do cutter comp on multi-axis cuts

Huh??? Do you even know what you are asking for here? 5 Axis Machining is nothing like 3 Axis so you might want to educate yourself on what you are really trying to accomplish and then may be someone will be able to better assist. Yes they all have a direction in them, but not a tool compensation function that is like a 3d Toolpath. What kind of machine are you programming for and what does the manual say is the code for 5 Axis Tool Compensation?

Those toolpaths don't have compensation direction option, which mean left or right cutting path. I only do computer, and don't do cutter comp.

Oh yes they do. Go to the Cut Pattern Page and see that little drop down called Compensation Direction? That has your left and right in it. See the one above it it controls the type you want and yes it has 5 options in there. Again educate yourself and it will help you get a better understanding on what you are doing. Have a great day.
