100% this!
When I teach my multiaxis classes (just did one this morning), I always start with this:
Why do you use Multiaxis toolpaths?
#1 reason - it looks badass and it makes you look cooler when it comes time for the raise! You paid for the machine, use it all!
#2 reason - to avoid hitting the part/machine/fixture.
#3 reason - to use the shortest tool possible.
I totally agree with Kyle that 90%+ is really just 3+2. And of the remaining 10%, 75% of THAT can be covered with the steps I show in the video above.
It's that last 2.5% that can get REeeeeaaaalllll tricky, though
Good luck on the interview!
+/-.005 Aerospace maybe, but tight tolerance parts expect problems. Need to use probing and a standard monument feature on each part to use to gauging. It could be a tooling ball or a gauge block that will allow you to check something that should never change in size to gauge deviations and then program in a way that compensates when the measurement of them changes.
if you go to file-->config-->toolpath manager you can also set your NC file naming to "last operations nc file name" so that way you don't run into this problem again.
Since when has MC ever tried to please anyone? All MC does is exactly what you do - blame the user. And 19.5k posts? Holy crap do you even do anything besides sit on this forum all day?
