The Curve Projection Finishing strategy projects a tubular pattern onto the model, which is then machined. The centre of this tube is the focus of the pattern. This strategy is similar to the Line Projection Finishing strategy except that the pattern is a curve rather than a line.
The pages associated with the Curve Projection Finishing strategy are:
- Curve projection finishing — The main page used to define a curve projection toolpath.
- High speed — Settings to create arcs in internal corners to eliminate sudden changes in tool direction which is essential for high speed machining.
- Pattern — Settings to specify the limits and orientation of the toolpath.
- Automatic verification — Settings to automatically verify the toolpath when calculating it.
- Projection range — Settings to manually specify the projection range.
The remaining pages are common toolpath strategy pages.
