Extruded solid.
-
Okay Sante Fe I did what you suggested and my original solid disappeared leaving the wire frame behind but didn't change my target body. So I chose non associative and kept my original solid but there's still no change to the target body. I created the target body from a rectangle and then extruded it. Should I make the target some other way??

I have a solid model that I need to convert the outside of the geo. to create a cavity in soft jaws so I can machine the inside of the model. I tried creating surfaces and machining the inside of the surface with HST toolpath with limited success. Has anyone done this before? Any help is greatly appreciated.

My post works great. I have a Hurco BMC 3016. The only thing I have to do is tell MC to add 100 to my tool # for my "D" value in the machine definition manager. I set my comp to "Wear" and no problems. Does this help?

Thanks all!

Thanks Marting, that's what I was looking for. BTW it's 85 deg bend so .268" set back right Chris? Thanks again.

Does anyone remember how to calculate a bend radius? I have a flat part that needs a cutout but the print shows it after the bend. (1/8 316L .13 bend radius) Thanks, Ken P.S. I'm new here and love this forum!!

I haven't had any problems with cycle time accuracy. Have you set your machine parameters in your machine definition manager? I run a Hurco BMC 3016 (1996) and my actual cycle time is within seconds of what backplot tells me it will be.

Sinker EDM????

It is time consuming but that's the nature of the beast when you need a good finish. My parts came out to about a 24 finish.
-
I just did a part that needed that type of finish for a seal and I used 10% stepover %.
-
I have used the pocketing toolpath using the "True spiral" option then changed my stepover pecentage to less than 5% to achieve this
