Monday ill try and put up a sample of what I'm thinking. Its a standing leg that flows from a closed angle to a open angle. I could not get flowline to work cuz there are 4 surfaces on that wall. I ended up just using loft and chained the top and lower rail. Easy but damn! There's a ton of code . I messed with the Nci filter chook but gave up on it.
I'm proficient in the traditional 3axis paths. Just we dint have multiaxis at work yet. I was just wondering if its something we should have.
I'm thinking I could use it for the undercut walls I have to do. I mostly use parallel and flow line. But yesterday I could not get them to do what I wanted. So I had to use the old wireframe loft tool path.
Ya we've been trying to do that lean manufacturing. ( Goodrich ) is our main customer. It really does take 100% cooperation from the whole company.
When I said skill building. I meant on a personal level. Too help me become a more productive programmer. I can program all our parts but I'm not very fast and it bothers the boss man I can tell
Ok I'll run this by the boss man. Thanks for the help guys. It's really a PITA for the three of us here to share one seat of mastercam . That's why I want to just do my work at home after hours.
Does anyone offer something like a skills building class? Not like a class where they teach you basics but like how to be productive in an industrial environment ,
What's involved in using my mastercam seat from work at home on my personal computer? The easiest would be to just take my USB sim home with me but boss won't let me.
When I try to filter a parallel toolpath I get an error at the machine saying "helical radius too small"
I don't understand why Im getting too small of an arc? This just stared happening it used to work fine.
Fadal VMC Ive tried it on several of the Fadals.
Another poll: How many of you get the joy of programming and building fixtures for new parts while trying to keep other machines running with other jobs??
