The Point Projection Finishing strategy projects a spherical pattern onto the model, which is then machined. This is a useful technique for machining near spherical bosses and pockets.
The pages associated with the Point Projection Finishing strategy are:
- Point projection finishing — The main page used to define a point 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.
- Projection range — Settings to manually specify the projection range.
- Automatic verification — Settings to automatically verify the toolpath when calculating it.
The remaining pages are common toolpath strategy pages.
