The rest machining operation

generates passes along inner corners

of the part. There are single passes

and series of parallel passes.

The rest machining operation takes the

diameter of the previous tool as a

parameter and generates passes where

the previous tool would leave

unmachined material.

The operation generates continuous

helical passes with the given vertical

stepover between the top and the

bottom level.

The operation generates the path of

finishing machining of separately taken

surfaces regardless of their curvature.

• Grooving in multiple layers• The toolpath is built taking into an account the remaining material• Toolpath calculation on the left, the right or at once to two edges of the cutting insert• The automatic determination of the narrow grooves on the workpiece• Machining of the narrow grooves by the size of the width of cutting edge incisor

Roughing rotary operation generates NC program, taking into account the remaining material. It can be compared with the «waterline roughing» operation, but not in the plane and on the cylinder around the axis of rotation of the part.The job zone is defined by:

• the minimal and maximal axial positions• the angular sector• top and bottom levels of machining

Strategies:• circular• spiral• linear

Step depth is defined separately.

1. Addins from new versions of

CAD systems are updated

2. New file formats are added:• PLY (Polygon File Format) –

for 3D scanner using• AMF files (Additive

Manufacturing File) – is an

open standard for describing

objects for additive

manufacturing processes

(such as 3D printing)
