Use the machine-relief toolpath to:
- machine the entire surface of the composite relief.
Tip: The composite relief is the result of all visible relief layers in a model when combined.
- machine a specific area of the composite relief, as defined by a selected vector.
- select a different tool clearance strategy for each tool you want to use. Depending on what strategy you select, you can control the angle, or where and in what direction the tool cuts into the block of material.
- control how the tool cuts into and retracts from the block of material by adding ramping moves.
Click the
Create Machine Relief Toolpath
button on the
Toolpaths panel to display the
Machine Relief panel.
Note: Ensure only the relief layers that make up the composite relief are visible and the combine mode assigned to each relief layer is correct.
After you have calculated the toolpath, you can simulate it.
